Application

Load Cells

In today’s market there’s a wide range of selection in terms of load cells. With more suited specifications for different kinds of application. Let’s assume that you know nothing about load cells and their specific application in different area. You need not to worry because I will be providing some of the different types of load cells that you can buy with description and the usage in which they are appropriate.

Compression Load Cell

Load cells are classified and usually described by the range of aspects which is the overload and the accuracy. Load cells have a range of compression ranging starting from 50 up to 5,000 kg and its overload capacity is up to 1000% while its accuracy is at 0.10%. With a lot going on in the surrounding this type of load cell can still handle the job effectively.

Single Ended Shear Beam

This type of load cell is commonly found in most types of platform, floor and shipping scales. It also provides a great method to solve the problem for most medium capacity weighing application. It has the strength to hold full capacity side load without having any trouble which make them the ideal weighing system for blenders, agitators and mixers. They are a bit costly but go with great sturdiness.

Torsion Ring

For wide range of weighing application that needs a low profile solution, with it’s new concept in design, this type of load cell provide an excellent job. This type of load cell that is made by load cell manufacturer that has excellent versatility and are now available for platform scale and weighing applications.

Pneumatic

Load CellsIt’s another type of mechanical type load cell has a wide range in terms of accuracy and weight. Although it has a slow response rate and needs to be clean in a regular basis, it’s definitely safe and contains no fluid. Hazardous areas and food industries are the one’s that usually make use of these types of load cells.

In other industries a lot of different kinds of load cells are being used and they work perfectly if they are particularly assigned on their specified task.
