How to choose the suitable load cell?

When it comes to weighing sensors, you may be unfamiliar, but when it comes to electronic scales in wet markets, you are very familiar with them. As the name suggests, the core function of a weight sensor is to tell us exactly how much an object weighs. As the soul of a weighing device, we can almost say that where there is weighing, there is it. It hides in every link of people's life, from the small scale of vegetables in the vegetable market to the large scale of the truck scale to measure the weight of cars. Different industries, different places, how to choose specific will not make mistakes? 

1. Considering its working environment, the first thing we should consider is the actual application environment where the weighing sensor is located. On the one hand, the environment determines whether the sensor can operate normally, that is, whether it can serve safely and reliably. On the other hand, it also determines the time limit for the normal use of the weighing sensor. How does the environment affect the weight sensor? Generally speaking, there are generally these aspects: a long time in the environment of high temperature, easy to seriously damage the coating material, resulting in its melting, and even lead to solder joint development; High humidity, acidic corrosive environment and high dust pollution in the air are the culprits of short circuit of components; The electromagnetic field will disturb the output signal, the result is the signal disorder; The explosive and flammable environment is a great security threat to people and equipment.

2. Considering its scope of application, each type of weighing sensor has its limited scope of use, which we must be clear about. For example, we in shopping malls, supermarkets and other shopping places common electronic pricing scales, usually use aluminum cantilever sensor; As for the weighing feeder used in factory production, often choose steel cantilever sensor; For example, for bulk cargo weighing, steel bridge sensors should be used.

3. Adopting the manufacturer's suggestion, the buyer can actually trust the manufacturer to provide the solution and follow the manufacturer's opinion. As for sensor manufacturers, they have the expertise to design and manufacture cantilever weight sensors, spoke weight sensors, single-point weight sensors  and so on in the process of designing product solutions according to different operating scenarios. It is the fundamental premise to ensure the safety and reliability of weighing to let all kinds of sensors belong to them. In short, to match the sensor to the target application scene, a variety of factors must be considered, but in general, it will not deviate from the two core: one is the type of object to be weighed, and the other is the space environment of installation.

The above is about how to buy some suitable load sensor experience to share, I hope this article can give you some purchase idea.
