Load Cells

Load cells are transducers that convert force or load into an electrical signal, commonly used in industrial settings for precise weight measurement. Typically composed of strain gauges mounted on a structure, load cells deform under load, causing changes in electrical resistance. This deformation is proportional to the applied force, and the strain gauge's resistance alterations are converted into an electrical signal. Load cells come in various types, such as hydraulic, pneumatic, or strain gauge-based, catering to diverse applications like scales, industrial machinery, and materials testing. Their accuracy and reliability make load cells essential for tasks requiring precise force or weight monitoring.
