What is an S-type load cell?

An S-type load cell (S-beam) is a type of transducer designed to convert force into an electrical signal and is used in tension and compression applications. The name S comes from the shape of the beam in the load cell, called the sensing element, which gives us the name of the S-type load cell.

How do you use an S-type load cell?

Like other load cells, the S-type load cell sensor helps to measure different forces, including but not limited to weight, tension, and pressure, using various electrical principles and methods. You can typically find S-type load cells being used with cranes, lifting, shackles, tension eye bolts, and rod ends.
