A load cell is a type of transducer used to measure force or weight. It converts a mechanical force into an electrical signal that can be measured and interpreted by electronic instruments. Load cells are commonly used in various industries and applications, such as weighing scales, industrial automation, material testing, and force monitoring systems.
Load cells typically consist of a metal body or structure that deforms under the application of force. This deformation generates a change in resistance, capacitance, or another electrical property, which is then converted into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is usually proportional to the applied force, allowing accurate measurement and monitoring of the load.
Load cells come in various types and designs, including:
Strain Gauge Load Cells: These load cells use strain gauges that are bonded to the metal body of the load cell. When a force is applied, the strain gauges’ experience deformation, which alters their electrical resistance. The change in resistance is then measured to determine the applied force.
Hydraulic Load Cells: Hydraulic load cells use hydraulic fluid and a piston arrangement to measure the force. When a force is applied, it causes a change in pressure in the hydraulic fluid, which is then converted into an electrical signal.
