Essentially, the difference between an analog and a digital load cell is how the signal is processed. Digital load cell systems differ from analog systems in three important ways: Signal strength, signal content and data sample rate. 1. Signal Strength – in a digital load cell, the signals from the strain gauges (a device used to measure strain on an object) start as analog electrical voltages. &n...

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...

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...
