What is Load cell
A load cell is a sensor or a transducer that converts a load or force acting on it into an electronic signal. This electronic signal can be a voltage change, current change or frequency change depending on the type of load cell and circuitry used. There are many different kinds of load cells. We offer resistive load cells and capacitive load cells.
Resistive load cells work on the principle of piezo-resistivity. When a load/force/stress is applied to the sensor, it changes its resistance. This change in resistance leads to a change in output voltage when a input voltage is applied.
Capacitive load cells work on the principle of change of capacitance which is the ability of a system to hold a certain amount of charge when a voltage is applied to it. For common parallel plate capacitors, the capacitance is directly proportional to the amount of overlap of the plates and the dielectric between the plates and inversely proportional to the gap between the plates.
Calibrating a resistive load cell after amplification
Once the output signal is amplified to a known 0.5 to 4.5 VDC signal, then the user can feed it into a PLC or a Data Acquisition System (DAQ) and infer the applied loads. Once the output signal has been amplified, one can calibrate the load cell by applying known loads and calculating a linear equation that best fits the curve.
Load cell applied in wighing scales
1.Industries that manufacture and move bulk items utilize weighbridges to measure the flow of goods to and from locations. These weigh stations determine the mass of vehicles, whether empty or loaded, as they pass between state borders.
2.The information acquired is vital to those whose purpose it is to execute commerce values by weight (Trade Approved); or to those checking gross vehicle weights; or even at weigh stations monitored by the government across various roads and highways.
3.Weighbridges utilize multiple wheel shape Load Cells (LFC Family), capped with Flat Load Plates, for accurate measurement readings along the weighing platform.
4.Multiple load cell connected by a junction box, recombination signal display by a indicador and output a analog. RS232 or RS485 transmitter to PC for easy control and analyse.
