The Basics of the Load Cell

It is astonishing that how many applications in our day to day lives require load measurements and how load cells are an integral part of our lives. Right from the newspaper to tea, In our cars to the food counter in the mall, we come across load cells everywhere. Though, they are usually not spotted by us at the plain sight, because they are hidden in the inner workings of the instrument. Load cells are comprised of a spring element on which the strain gauges are placed.

The spring elements are sturdy and minimally elastic, as they the made of steel or aluminum. According to the name ' spring element,' the steel is minimally deformed under the pressure of a load, and then returns to its initial, starting position, elastically responding to every load. The minutely small changes are easily acquirable by the strain gauges. The final deformation on the strain gauge is eventually interpreted by the analysis of electronics to calculate the weight.

The usage of Load cells

Apart from being installed in the scales, load cells are installed in various other applications of the various industries. Like, for instance, the bottling plants or systems which fill bottles and cans by weight or a sorting system for distributing potatoes and candies into different bags so that all have the same weight after the process is completed. Weight plays a vital role in various industries, as goods are sold primarily by weight. The leading Load Cell Manufacturers also customize the load cells as per the application and the requirements.

The characteristics of the double ended load cell are similar to that of a single load cell. The double ended load cell finds its usage in truck scales and tank and hopper applications. In case of a single end load cell, one end is secured, and the load is applied on the other, the double ended load cell is secured at the two sides, and the pressure is applied on the center of the load cell.

The accuracy of the load cells

Irrespective of the application in which the load cell is used in, accuracy plays a crucially dominant role. These load cells are available in various maximum capacities, where the maximum capacities indicate the maximum designated load, different levels of accuracy classes. The Strain Gauge Technology is mainly used to achieve classes C and D. Electronic Correction is also used along with Strain Gauge Load Cells to achieve higher accuracy levels, in some weighers.

The trends of the Load Cell Technology

The load cells which are based on the strain gauges feature high levels of accuracy and are used in a variety of applications. This precision is only achievable with the proper know-how, which is solely based on experience. Sensomatic leading load cell suppliers in Mumbai look back on over 15 years experience, in developing the load cells and are tirelessly working on new solutions to meet the new requirements of tomorrow. It is their vision and dedication, which makes them the leader of the industry.
