small load cell
Small load cells are precision measurement devices designed to convert mechanical force into electrical signals, offering exceptional accuracy in compact dimensions. These sophisticated sensors utilize strain gauge technology to measure compression, tension, and weight forces with remarkable precision. Typically ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters in size, small load cells are engineered to handle capacities from a few grams to several hundred kilograms. The devices incorporate advanced strain gauge configurations mounted on a metal spring element, which deforms elastically under applied force. This deformation causes proportional changes in electrical resistance, which is then converted into a measurable output signal. Modern small load cells feature temperature compensation, EMI protection, and various output options including mV/V, voltage, or current signals. They are commonly integrated into medical equipment, industrial automation systems, robotics, and precision weighing applications. Their compact design makes them ideal for space-constrained applications while maintaining high accuracy and reliability. These devices often include features such as overload protection, environmental sealing, and multiple mounting options to ensure versatility across different applications.
