Load Cell Wiring
March 1, 2023
Not all load cells are wired the same. Depending on the application, load cells can utilize either 4 or 6 wire cables...
Force Sensors
November 21, 2022
A force sensor is a type of transducer more commonly referred to as a load cell. Force sensors/load cells convert physical stimuli such as torque, pressure, and compression into a measurable electrical output.
Strain Gauge Applications

While one of the most common uses for strain gauges is in load cells, strain gauges can also be used...
Function of a Signal Conditioner
June 4, 2021
The function of a signal conditioner is to pick up the signal from the load cell and convert it into a higher level of electrical signal. Signal conversion is often used by industrial applications, especially those that use a wide range of sensors to perform measurements.
Clevis Load Cells & Pin Load Cells
February 22, 2021
Load pins are rod-shaped load cells that can replace normal shafts or pins in machineries such as shackles, sheaves, bearing blocks, pivots, pulleys, and much more.
Load Cell Calibration
January 27, 2021
Before any load cell can be used it must undergo an initial calibration. The purpose is to convert the output voltage to a user-defined value.
