Buying Load Cells

 Are you looking to shop for load cells? All Scale Shop has been providing a wide variety of brand name load cells and accessories for many industries for more than 40 years.

Load cells are a powerful piece of technology often used in the conversion of a force into a measurable output of electricity.

 


Having been in use for years in the technological space, load cells are important instruments used in industries to drive results. Some of the examples that can be linked to load cells include hydraulic load cells, Strain gauge type load cells, ring type load cells, miniature load cells spool type load cells, compression load cells, canister style load cells and platform type load cells. Load cells are useful in analyzing stress analysis as well as electrical measurement of strain resistance.

 

Depending on the environment in which the load cell is to be put into use, suitable subtypes of the load cells can be engaged. Here are some of the Load cell types and their descriptions here are

Miniature load cells

ü they possess a small amount of space

ü they can perform with heavy-duty loads

ü they usually work with a twist-lock connector

ü they can accommodate test benches and industrial weighing applications

ü they have high accuracy

ü they have a completely traceable calibration



Canister Style Load cells

ü they are water-resistant

ü they can be sued for single and multiple weighing processes

ü their loads are hydrostatically compensated

ü they can be adapted for use in a very harsh environment

ü they are durable and can be used with heavy-duty equipment

 

Strain load cells

ü  they are accurate for static and dynamic measurements

ü  they have high sensitivity

ü  a strain is effectively transmitted to the grid through the collaboration of the bond and matrix carrier

Platform load cells


ü they are best suited for industrial weighing

ü they are hermetically sealed

ü they can be used for operations that require high accuracy and water tightness

ü they provide off-center load compensation

ü they are designed to offer optimal performance when utilized.

When selecting a load cell, consider the flowing tips:

1.     The Operating Environment: depending on your kind of environment, (if it is dry, harsh or dusty) your choice of load cell should be compatible with the environment it will be used in to ensure optimal delivery and durability in the long run.

2.     Exposure: If the load cells will be immersed in water, oils, chemicals or other fluids, you have to factor this in before making your choice.

3.     Kind of load to be measured: Will the load cell require the application of a dynamic or sudden load? You have to provide thorough answers before making your choice.
