What are the benefits of using load cells?

In various industries, it is becoming increasingly necessary to measure and computerize the weight (mass) of products in order to improve quality and productivity, and to reduce costs. The computerized data is often used for inspections and aggregate calculations. Inside instruments (systems) that measure mass, load cells function as sensors that convert physical force into […]

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. In the dictionary, a load cell is defined as a “weight measurement device […]
