Industrial Uses of Load Cells

Author: Senso Matic

Getting to know about transducers may be fascinating but a layperson surely does not have enough knowledge about it and its applications in various industries. However, it is even more confusing to know that a load cell is also be referred to as transducer simply because it is capable of converting a force into electrical signals that has a number of utilities today.

Check out some of the applications of a load cell below and you are sure to understand more about its functions that can be of paramount importance.

  • Industries that require precise measurements utilize the high precise load cells especially the pharmaceutical and the automotive industry where the measurement is of supreme importance. Several manufacturing industries as well as the research laboratories also make use of the transducers.
  • The
stainless steel load cell for instance is thought to be highly effective in the Agro / Healthcare / Food / Marine industry where the Regular Load cells are prone to corrosion.

  • Several weighing scales such as tank and hopper scales make use of the double beam
shear beam load cells effectively. The Industrial scales are precise instruments that last for ages. The top manufacturers of transducers today offer a wide variety of such scales including bench, floor, platform, and barrel industrial weighing scales. The shear beam type of load cells are common enough on conveyor belts too. Customized scales are often manufactured on request as well.

  • While almost every industry big, medium and small have the need for load cells, there are few specialized load cells in use too. A load cell that can withstand the intense pressure of water up to 10,000 psi can be conveniently utilized underwater for various activities.
  • A number of micro load cells also known as miniature load cells are being manufactured regularly by the top players associated with the manufacture of the load cells today too. These are in high demand for surgical procedures, pharmaceutical products testing as well as for utilization in the aerospace.

It is best to opt for the manufacturer that has made a name for itself in churning out all types of load cells as per the necessity of its clients though.
