There are several types of load cells available, each designed to suit specific applications based on the range, precision, environmental conditions, and mounting requirements. Here are some common load cell types and their applications:
Strain Gauge Load Cells: Strain gauge load cells are the most common type and use strain gauges bonded to a metal structure. They are versatile and find applications in various industries such as weighing scales, material testing machines, force monitoring, and industrial automation.
Compression Load Cells: Compression load cells are designed to measure forces acting in a compressive direction. They are commonly used in applications like industrial weighing systems, tank weighing, silo weighing, and force measurement in presses.
Tension Load Cells: Tension load cells are specifically designed to measure forces in a tensile direction. They are used in applications such as crane scales, hoists, winch systems, and force measurement in rigging.
Shear Beam Load Cells: Shear beam load cells are ideal for applications that require measuring forces in shear or bending. They are commonly used in platform scales, tank and hopper weighing, conveyor systems, and force monitoring.
S-Beam Load Cells: S-beam load cells, also known as S-type load cells, have an S-shaped design and are suitable for both tension and compression force measurement. They are used in various applications, including material testing, packaging equipment, and force monitoring systems.
Pancake Load Cells: Pancake load cells are low-profile load cells with a disk-like shape. They are used in applications that require force measurement in tight spaces, such as robotics, automation, and assembly line testing.
Canister Load Cells: Canister load cells have a cylindrical shape and are known for their high load capacity. They are commonly used in heavy-duty industrial applications, such as vehicle weighing, hydraulic press monitoring, and construction equipment.
Miniature Load Cells: Miniature load cells are compact in size and offer high accuracy for applications with limited space. They are used in medical devices, robotics, aerospace, and other applications where size and weight are critical factors.
Hydraulic Load Cells: Hydraulic load cells utilize hydraulic fluid to measure forces. They are suitable for applications that require high accuracy, such as calibration standards, material testing, and force calibration.
