load cell weight sensor

What is a Load Cell Weight Sensor?A load cell weight sensor is a precision instrument that can be used to convert a force into electrical signals. This is an advanced system based on s-one strain gauge technology, which operates from the subtle deformation of the metallic structure of the sensor induced by the applied force. These mechanical strains change the electrical resistance of the strain gauges, yielding an output voltage which is proportional to the weight. Today's load cells also feature sophisticated temperature compensation and protective coatings to provide accurate readings regardless of temperature or environment. They provide high accuracy, 0.03% ~ 0.25% F.S., for industrial and commercial markets. The sensors are available in different designs like single-point, s-type and compression.

There are a number of persuasive reasons as to why load cell weight sensors are a critical and indispensable component in today’s weighing applications. Their Exceptional precision and accuracy results in more accurate weighing, fewer mistakes and greater QC checks. The solid state design means no moving parts, making our pentode immune to vibration and extending the operational life. Thanks to their sealed construction and corrosion-resistant materials, these sensors perform just as well in critical industrial areas. Digital outputs allow easy connection to automated systems, recording devices and other peripherals to complement any automation system economy. The quick reaction speed of the sensors enables real time checking of the weight, which is important in high-speed production lines and when weigh or checking production on scales. Installation is easily accomplished in any instrument layout due to their small size and flexible mounting. Load cells also demonstrate outstanding long-term stability, which in most case can contribute to less frequent recalibration of the system and cut costs. The scalability of the technology ranges from laboratory balances to heavy industrial weighing systems. They are suitable due to their low power usage for observation through portables as well as battery use. Extreme temperature and electromagnetic interference resistance enable dependable operation in various environments. Furthermore, modern types of load cells contain diagnostics and employ error detection, and help reduce expensive errors in measurement and failure of equipment.

Superior Measurement Accuracy and Stability

Superior Measurement Accuracy and Stability

Load Cell weight scale sensors offer outstanding continuous measurement through advanced use of stain gauge technology and manufacturing. The sensors use more than one strain gauge in a Wheatstone bridge configuration, so that they can correct for temperature effects and off-center loads. This advanced design allows for measurement accuracy as high as 0.03% to 0.25%, far exceeding even the most rigid industrial requirements. The sensors achieve this high level of accuracy over long periods of time due to their strong design and inherent stability. In addition, they feature build-in damping for mechanical noise and shaking to improve the accuracy of measurements. Temperature compensation circuits are built into these sensors to read at temperatures up to -40°F and up to 120°F, which means they are ideal for indoor and outdoor use.
Versatile Integration and Connectivity Options

Versatile Integration and Connectivity Options

Recent loadcell weight sensors also perform well in terms of integrating into different control and monitoring systems. They have standardized output signals (mV/V or digital), which are able to interface with many industrial automation equipment. In addition to these functions, some models include digital interfaces (RS-485, Modbus, Ethernet) and can be interfaced directly with computers and PLCs. This connectivity is used to collect data in real time, monitor progress of an experiment from a remote location and control a process automatically. The unit is equipped with various sensor calibration methods and actively corrects for sensors calibration drift to minimize the setup time and complexity. Their modular form fit replacement permits easy service and system upgrades without major retrofitting of existing hardware.
Robust Environmental Protection and Durability

Robust Environmental Protection and Durability

Weight load cells are designed to work in the toughest industrial environments with precision accuracy. Hermetically sealed IP66 or IP68 rated designs ensure high dust, moisture and chemical resistance. Constructed of ultra-high grade stainless steel or alloy, and 12191 deliver “turbine-like” results in power delivery. Protective devices are present in the sensors, e.g. surge protection units and EMI shieldings provided, to protect against electrical disruptions. They offer mechanical overload protection, to prevent structural damage due to force overload, while ensuring the integrity of the measurements. Special coatings and treatments assure long life under these conditions, and stainless steel models are also resistant to some acids and caustics. Ideal for outdoor and washdown environments our stainless steel-top industrial scales with these special options are always available from Specialized Scales.
