Why weigh things with load cells?

2017-08-03 10:10:18

For most of us our first introduction to scales and weighing things happens in the bathroom with the standard bathroom scales. We stand on the platform and either mechanically or digitally our weight is displayed. Weighing things soon becomes an everyday part of our lives weather through cooking & baking, checking our luggage in at airports or feeling the "quality" of a nice wristwatch. Weighi...

What is load cell?

2017-07-25 16:47:53

A load cell is a kind of force sensor that changes the deformation of a material into an electric signal. In short load cells are sensors that convert weight or force into electric signal. Thus, load cells are key components of any weighing system. A substantial amount of research made in the field of transducers has drastically reduced the number of instrumental errors, which, in turn, has suppor...

Why should calibrate load cells?

2017-06-20 09:04:30

A Load Cell is a device that is used to measure weight or force in a number of different applications. The load cell itself is a transducer that is used to convert a force into an electrical signal. This signal is usually only a few millivolts and requires amplification before it can be used. Most load cells use strain gauge technology. This technology is very well established and has been proven ...

The Testing of Load Cell Creep

2017-06-16 10:59:08

According to definition, environmental conditions and all other variable conditions timing, in a certain load under the action of load cell output with limited time.The steady state change is called creep. In the creep test, It should be loaded without impact as soon as possible.The load time is generally within 5-10 senconds.At the same time ,the loading output value should be got within 5-10 sen...

Choosing the Right Load Cell

2017-06-16 11:22:14

What is a Load Cell? A load cell comes in a few different shapes and sizes to fulfill different purposes. All in all, however, a load cell is a sensor which gives a signal output in response to load applied to it in tension or compression. The most common type of load cell technology, the strain gauge load cell, varies the voltage output in relation to the changing force. A load cells output is ty...

How Load Cells are used to Optimize Race Car Performance

2017-06-16 10:02:19

Since the earliest days of auto racing, attempts have been made to engineer cars that will go faster and handle better. The difference between winning and losing can often be measured in fractions of a second. Excess weight can result in slower times, but the angle of the car’s nose and the car’s ability to “stick” on curves are also critical to performance. Load cells can help optimize performanc...
