Load cell is a passive transducer or sensor which converts applied force into electrical signals.
Based up on looks, they can be classified as :
Applications include filling machinery, industrial floor scales, tank and silo weighing plus diverse applications in on board vehicle weighing, medical equipment and process control.
Compression load cells are ideally suited to high accuracy applications in truck and railway scales, tank and silo weighing and in heavy duty industrial scales.
Single point load cells are purpose-designed for high accuracy applications in retail and industrial scales, packaging machinery, on board weighing systems and medical devices.
Typical applications are hoppers, tanks and silos, however these versatile components are used in a wide variety of industrial situations.
S-type cells include suspended tank and silo weighing in the process weighing sector, patient hoists in the medical device sector and tensile test machines in the test and measurement sector.
