7.What is the principle of electrical strain gauge load cells?
Electrical strain gauges depend on the guideline of change of the electrical resistance because of the change in the length of the metal utilized in the strain gauge. The equation for the resistance of a strain gauge metal is:
R = ρ L/A
Where ρ = resistivity
A = Cross-sectional area
L = Length
8.What about the capacity of the load cell?
It depends upon the type of load cell used. Sensotech loadcell capacity starts from 600gms, which was used for jewelry applications (Asp-JL) and maximum in Universal load cell(UNV-C).
Sensotech is one of the leading load cell manufacturers in India. We supply to all over and India and foreign countries also.
9.What are the classification of a load cell according to types of the output signal?
- Strain gauge load cell
- Pneumatic load cell
- Hydraulic load cell
