Load Sensor (Load Cell)
$0.00$0.00
Load Sensors, also known as “Load Transducers” or “Load Cells” are sensor that detects force or torque and converts its magnitude into an electrical signal. They come in various shapes, such as beam, coin, or S-shape, and can be used for measurement in small spaces or built into specific equipment. There are also particular types with shapes suitable for unique samples such as vehicle handbrakes or footbrakes. Some can be used even in harsh environments such as high/low temperatures, high dust, or exposure to water.
They can be connected to a dedicated amplifier (display unit) to quantify and display the measurement results. Measurement data and pass/fail test value signals can be simply output, allowing for easy management of data, and interlocking of measurement results with equipment.
Description
There are several selection criteria.
- Shape. Important to use a load cell with a fixing method and size suitable for the measurement space and sample. For example, coin-shaped are small and thin and can be inserted into narrow
gaps, making them ideal for measurements in tight or unstable spaces. - Measurement Direction. Some are dedicated for compression or tension only, so it is necessary to confirm whether they can handle the measurement you want to make.
- Measurement Environment. If you want to use them in an environment with restrictions such as temperature, you need select an appropriate type.
- Maximum Force Value. Selecting a range higher than the expected force value will prevent damage. You may also anticipate unintentional large forces, so it is recommended to select a range
with a sufficient margin. - Measurement Accuracy. The accuracy of the combination of load sensor and indicator depends on the type of indicators, and should be selected according to the measurement requirements
