S Type Load Cell
The load cell for SPM and UTM machines can be made from S Type load cells. S-Type load cells are low-cost, high-performance side-mounted load cells that are appropriate for a wide range of weighing and force measuring applications. They include a 6-foot strain-relieved integrated cable with pigtail leads that are stripped and tinned for electrical contact. Highlights: Low cost High performance Side mounted Calibrated in tension alone. The standard complete scale runs from 50 to 5000 lb. Applications include: Structural performance testing of vehicle systems such doors, hoods, and trunks The lifetime of automotive components Weighing Shore Hardness Polymeric and elastomeric material strain testing Industrial control and feedback Food processing in industrial scale.
Universal Load Cell
In the world of force measurement testing, adaptability is quite valuable. That is why some of Interface’s most popular products are built to be adaptable to a wide range of testing and force monitoring procedures. These products are designed for broad applications, ranging from standard tension and compression LowProfile Load Cells to Interface’s multi-axis sensors, which can measure up to six axes for additional data. Universal load cells are capable of measuring both tension and compression forces in testing and monitoring applications. Universal load cells have the ability to record data for both forces. They are intended for a wide range of force and weight measuring applications, including weighing scales, material testing devices, and industrial automation equipment. These load cells are perfect for applications where the load may alter from tension to compression. The load cells for SPM and UTM machines using universal load cells are given here with details.
Universal load cells are also suitable for product and material destructive testing because they are sturdy and easy to install in a variety of applications. Top some of the advantages of using load cells for SPM and UTM machines with universal load cells are added here for your reference. Advantages of Universal Load Cells Range of Standard Capacities Universal load cells range in size and capacity. Interface offers a wide range of universal options, the world’s most accurate ultra-low capacity tension and compression load cell measuring loads from 0.1 to 2 N (10.2 grams to 500 gmf), to the 1000 Series High Capacity Fatigue Rated LowProfile Load Cell capable of measuring tension and compression over a million pounds of force. Any testing program’s needs will determine the type of load cell.
Applications Of S Type Load Cells
Applications for S-type load cells are numerous and include:
- S-type load cells are frequently found in weighing apparatuses for loads up to one tonne that are tiny to medium. Crane scales, silo scales, hybrid scales, hanging container scales, and huge bag weighing apparatuses can all be equipped with them. They can also be utilized with truck scales, suspended loads, and tank weighing.
- Automotive systems including doors, hoods, and trunks can have their structural performance tested with S-type load cells. They can also be used to evaluate the durability of prosthetic designs and materials under heavy loads and regular use.
- Polymers and elastomers can have their strain measured using S-type load cells.
- Force control loop feedback and industrial control are two applications for S-type load cells.
- Cyclic loads can be applied and measured in fatigue testing equipment using S-type load cells. An actuator, for instance, can replicate walking by continuously applying and removing force.
Applications Of Universal Load Cells
- With universal shear load cells, tension and compression forces can be observed.
- Load cells allow for the observation of compressive load and axial forces in deep foundations, tunnel linings, and dams.
- Load cells are useful in applications like automotive dyno testing, where dependable performance over long periods of time is required.
- Universal load cells can also be used in landing gear structures, gas turbine engines, rocket engines, bin weighing and process control systems.
