Miniature load cells have several attractive features which have made them indispensable in today's precision measurement applications. Being tiny, they are easily used in miniaturized systems with minimum compromise towards design, yet a reduced dimension without loss of performance, ideal for handheld instruments and space limited systems. The high levels of accuracy offered by these sensors – frequently 0.1% of full scale or better – together with their long term stability guarantee precise measurements in important applications. Their low power requirements make them a good fit for battery-powered instrumentation and remote sensing applications. The solid construction used in their production ensures a high level of long-term stability and virtually drift-free measurement over the life of the sensor. Thanks to compensation mechanisms built-in, these sensors exhibit excellent immunity to environmental influences, such as temperature effects and EM radiation influence. Real-time force monitoring is achieved in dynamic applications with the fast dynamic response of micro load cells. Their dual capability to measure not only tension, but also compression forces, broadens their application. The digital output capabilities in today's micro load cells make it easy to interface them with control systems and data acquisition devices. Considering the level of precision and reliability they provide, they are highly cost-effective and represent great values for both high volume production and special applications. The low maintenance, long operating life also makes them increasingly attractive for end users.
