Description
What is a Load Cell & How Does it
Work?
A load
cell (or loadcell) is a transducer which converts force into a
measurable electrical output. Although there are many varieties of
force sensors, strain gauge load cells are the most commonly used
type.
Except for certain laboratories where precision mechanical balances
are still used, strain gauge load cells dominate the weighing
industry. Pneumatic load cells are sometimes used where intrinsic
safety and hygiene are desired, and hydraulic load cells are
considered in remote locations, as they do not require a power
supply. Strain gauge load cells offer accuracies from within 0.03%
to 0.25% full scale and are suitable for almost all industrial
applications.
How does a load cell
work?
A load
cell works by converting mechanical force into digital values that
the user can read and record. The inner working of a load cell
differs based on the load cell that you choose. There are hydraulic
load cells, pneumatic load cells, and strain gauge load cells.
Strain gauge load sensors are the most commonly used among the
three. Strain gauge load cells contain strain gauges within them
that send up voltage irregularities when under load. The degree of
voltage change is covered to digital reading as
weight.
When to
use a load cell?
A load
cell measures mechanical force, mainly the weight of objects.
Today, almost all electronic weighing scales use load cells for the
measurement of weight. They are widely used because of the accuracy
with which they can measure the weight. Load cells find their
application in a variety of fields that demand accuracy and
precision.
Why Choose Three Pulley Tension
Sensor?
three pulley tension sensor: The
three pulley tension sensor adopts high quality
material, durable in use. Three pulley tension sensor is made
of high quality material for maximum durability.
- the three pulleys load sensing adopts
engineering machinery special high strength nylon
wheel synthetic materials, widely used in large cranes,
manned elevator, etc., have strong adaptability of wire,
low wear rate characteristics, easy installation and
maintenance, than common iron pulley has better
mechanical properties.
- the three pulleys load sensing using rope
tension stress produced reaction to produce pulley shearing
force by measuring hang the weight, precision reliable, range
range, protection grade can achieve IP67, be applicable to the
outdoor environments.
- the
three pulleys load sensing adopts gimbal fixed, convenient
installation, light weight, also suitable for the wire rope in
the sport the swing, have good force measurement
results.
- applicable to vehicle cranes, crawler cranes, etc
without fixed ropes head lifting equipment
