An S-shaped load cell, also known as an S-beam load cell or S-type load cell, is a specific design of load cell that resembles the letter "S" in its shape. It is a type of strain gauge load cell widely used for measuring tension and compression forces in a variety of applications.
The S-shaped load cell is named after its characteristic S-like shape, which provides several advantages. Its design allows for the measurement of forces along a single axis, making it suitable for applications where the load needs to be suspended or supported by the load cell. The load is typically applied to the center section of the load cell, with one end fixed and the other end connected to a load-bearing element or structure.
The strain gauge elements are typically bonded to the central region of the load cell, where the most significant deformation occurs when force is applied. As the load is applied, the load cell deforms along the axis of measurement, causing strain gauges to stretch or compress. These strain gauges detect the change in electrical resistance, which is then converted into an electrical signal proportional to the applied force.
