Load Cells & Weighing Scales

Load Cells & Weighing Scales

load cells are also commonly known as canister load cells or compression force sensors. They are used in single and multi-weigh installations including small tanks and hoppers right through to large silos and weigh bridges or any installation that requires compressive force measurements. The PT range of compression load cells is manufactured from tool steel or stainless steel and boast environmental ratings up to IP68. Ideal for high accuracy, a compression load cell is available for small capacity right through to heavy duty applications. Each load cell can be supplied individually or combined with our state of the art instrumentation for a complete weigh system.

Load cells are sensors that detect force (mass, torque, etc.). When force is applied to a load cell, it converts the force into an electrical signal. Load cells are also known as "load transducers," because they convert a load (force) into electrical signals. The sensors that measure force include sensors that utilize springs or piezofilms, pressure elements, displacement sensors, as well as a variety of other sensors. There are also a number of different load cells. These include magnetostrictive load cells, capacitance load cells, gyro load cells, and strain-gauge load cells.

Weighing Scales

Different tools and equipment are used in various industrial sectors — the industrial weighing scales being a common one. Weighing goods accurately is essential in a number of industries including the buying and selling of goods, as well as quality and safety. Based on the need and the industry, you can employ a variety of industrial weighing scales.
