Types of Load Cells

There are different types of load cells for different applications, including universal load cells, disk sensors, digital load cells, and tension load cells. Learn more about each type here.
Sensomatic is the manufacturers of Strain Gauge Load Cells. Strain gauge load cells are mainly used for the weighing applications like farm types of equipment, Hospital Bed Weighing Scale, Bridge & Infrastructure, Trolley Weighing System, etc.
The different load cells are used for different applications. Here, take a look into the types of load cells.

Different Types of load cells

Sensomatic provides a range of strain gauge load cells, including universal load cells, disk sensors, digital load cells, and tension load cells. Each type offers unique advantages and features for different applications. For example, tension load cells are ideal for measuring force in cables or wires, while universal load cells can be used for both compression and tension measurements. The choice of load cell type will largely depend on the specific requirements of your project.
Choosing the right load cell depends on factors such as accuracy, capacity, size, and environmental conditions. Discover the various load cell types to make an informed decision.

ALUMINUM LOAD CELL

This type of load cell is constructed from Aircraft Alloy. This offers the best linearity And performance with negligible creep effect. The load cell is designed to offer high precision output

SINGLE POINT LOAD CELL

Single Point Load Cell is known as platform Load cells. The main features of single point load cells are high accuracy and reliability. This type of load cell is using in many applications but commonly used for small to medium scales.
Like other types of load cells, these are transducers that convert power or weight into an electrical sign.
According to the under load, the state of the load cell twists slightly. This change is identified by the strain gauges which misshape as one with the body, bringing about a voltage difference.
This voltage signal is directly proportional to the initial power or weight and can thus be able to be used to compute it.

BENDING BEAM LOAD CELLS

Bending Beam load cells are commonly known as bellow beam load cells.
These load cells are manufactured using alloy nickel-plated and the main features are high accuracy and linearity. The bending beam has a metal spring that is elastically deformed under the load. After removing the load the spring element changed into its normal shape

S-TYPE LOAD CELL

The S-type load cell is made of high alloy nickel steel and sealed to IP67 Standard load cell. This is a Universal Load Cells-Type load cell additionally allude to as pillar cells, they are using for health instruments, like, machines to lift patients, suspended tank, etc.
S-type load cells get their name from their shape which is the shape of the letter “S”. The S type beam is commonly using in tension and compression applications where you will encounter static and dynamic loads.

APPLICATIONS OF S TYPE LOAD CELLS

⦁ Hybrid scales
⦁ Silo scales
⦁ Crane scales
⦁ Tank weighing.
⦁ Hanging container scales

COMPRESSION LOAD CELL

In the scope of mechanical and technical applications compression load cell is commonly using.
A compression load cell habitually includes a low profile button or circular about the plan.
That works amazingly in conditions where both sidelong and overhead space is limited. This load cell working principle is based on the concept of compression and relaxation.

Similarly, there are a lot of load cells are available to depend upon the applications.
In short, different types of load cells have different advantages and different applications.
Therefore users can effectively use depends upon on their own applications.
Sensomatic offered a wide range of various types of load cells and also custom load cells are also available here. Sensomatic promoted by Sensotech is one of the best load cell manufacturers in India.
