The inner working of a load cell differs based on the load cell that you choose.
Small size load cell.
When force is exerted on the load cell the structure and resistance of the strain gauges changes and is measured.
Features high output and high accuracy easy installation.
These load cells can output data in ascii format via a virtual com port at up to 150 hz and can go as high as 500 hz with a high speed upgrade.
The lmc a is a compact lightweight load cell for measuring compressive loads.
Small in size and capable of providing highly accurate readings the lcfd series miniature load cells are precision subminiature load cells for industrial applications requiring a small size and high accuracy.
12 0 1mm 5 10 kn 16 0 1mm 20 kn 22 0 2mm 50 kn nonlinearity.
The cu range of load cells are designed for the measurement of static or dynamic loads in compression.
Small load cells if your weight measurement or test and measurement application requires a small load cell then flintec can help.
We have designed and manufactured a variety of sensors that can be used in applications where size height width or diameter are a limiting factor.
A load cell works by converting mechanical force into digital values that the user can read and record.
Strain gauge load sensors are the most commonly used among the three.
5 kn to 50 kn diameter.
The cu series is supplied for nominal loads from 50 kg to 1 t.
There are hydraulic load cells pneumatic load cells and strain gauge load cells.
If our standard miniature load cell range is not suitable for your application type our team of highly skilled engineers can work with you to design a fully custom solution from sizes small enough to be categorized within a subminiature load cell classification.
The iload flex flexible load cell is available in diameters as small as 0 1 and could be as low as just 0 1 in height.
They are all stainless steel measure both tension and compression loads and have male thread studs for load attachment.
From the resulting data can be easily determined using the equation above.
Model mtfs miniature tension load cell is a small sized tension load cell that is available in capacity ranges from 1 kn to 100 kn 224 8 to 22 5k lbf.
In a load cell the resistors are replaced with strain gauges and arranged in alternating tension and compression formation.
There are several types of strain gauge load cells.
Common types of load cells.
See datasheet for available models additional capacities connectors options and accessories.
