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 Rope Clamp Tension
Load Cell ?
The WTAU
brand PY Clamp-on Load Cell is a durable solution for measuring
wire rope tension, providing dependable overload detection and
prevention for overhead cranes and hoists.
Available to accommodate most common wire ropes ,the Rope Clamp
Tension Load Cell installs quickly and easily to the wire rope
dead end. The integral signal cable can be connected to a variety
of detection device such as the LED indicator DPM-5 .
Weight-based setpoints can be used to communicate with crane
electronics providing
operator alerts and safety shut offs based on unsafe load
conditions.
