LOAD CELL
A load cell is a transducer that is used to create can electrical signal. Whose magnitude is directly proportional to the force being measured the various load cells type includes hydraulic pneumatic and strain gauge .there are several types of load cells:
- Shear beam, a Straight block of material fixed on one end loader on the other
- Bending beam. A compact extremely versatile load cell that can easily fit into components where space is limited. There devices are commonly used in industrial and commercial measurement application.
- Pancake. Low-profile compression and wheel tension load cells that have a wide surface area for absorbing shock loads.
- Signal point/platform load cells. Allow the construction of a weighing scale or machine with only one load cell. Used in small/ medium sized platform scales.
- Double-ended shear beam, a straight block of material fixed at both ends and loaded in the center.
- Compression load cell. a lock of material designed to be loaded at one point or area in compression
