Static Sensitivity Calibration Characteristics of Load Cells
Measuring Range The range between the smallest and largest measurements that a load cell can measure is called the measuring range. The difference between the upper and lower limits of the load cell’s measuring range is referred to simply as the range. STK S Type Alloy Steel Load Cell for ...Read more -

LC1330 Digital Single Point Load Cell What is a load cell? A load cell is a ...Read more -
How is the coater tension sensor controlled?
Everywhere you look, you’ll find products made with tension control systems. You see materials all around you, from cereal boxes to water bottle labels. They all need precise tension control during manufacturing. Companies worldwide understand that proper tension control is crucial for man...Read more -
What is the calibration and adjustment of load cells?
Single-point calibration Single-point calibration is the easiest calibration method. It’s best for cases where you only need accurate measurements at one load or torque. If the force sensor is linear and repeatable, you can use a single-point calibration. This fixes zero offset errors or zero b...Read more -
Use crane load cells to improve work safety
Cranes and other overhead equipment are often used in making and moving products. We use different overhead lifting systems to move steel I-beams and weigh modules in our factories. We keep the lifting process safe and efficient. We use crane load cells to measure the tension in the wire ropes of...Read more -
Key terms commonly used in automatic check weighing scales
Conveyor belts Conveyor belts move products into and out of the checkweigher on the production line. Checkweighers often fit into existing production lines. You can tailor conveyor belts to meet your needs. Load cells Load cells vary in type, but they all measure weight with precision on scales. ...Read more -
Fundamentals of belt scales with load cells
How does a belt scale work? A belt scale has a weighing frame attached to a conveyor belt. This setup helps maintain an accurate and steady flow of materials. The weighing frame supports the conveyor belt. It includes load cells, rollers, or idler pulleys on the load cells. A speed sensor is ofte...Read more -
How do I know which load cell I need?
Load cells come in as many types as there are applications that use them. The supplier may ask you the first question when you order load cells: “What weighing equipment will you use with your load cells?” This first question will guide us on the next ones to ask. For example, we can ask, “Will t...Read more -
10 interesting facts about load cell junction boxes
Electrical connection The housing terminal box is a housing used to connect multiple load cells together for use as a single scale. The terminal box holds the electrical connections from several load cells. This setup averages their signals and sends the values to the weight indicator. JB-054S F...Read more -
Bulk material weighing system in the production process
Bulk weighing system basic knowledge Load cells and a supporting frame form the basis of a weighing system. The frame keeps vertical forces aligned on the load cell for accurate measurement. It also protects the load cell from any damaging horizontal forces. Many installation styles exist. The ap...Read more -
Comparison of Load Cell Technologies
Technical Comparison of Strain Gauge Load Cells and Digital Capacitive Load Cells Both capacitive and strain gauge load cells use an elastic element. This element bends under the measured load. The elastic element is usually made of aluminum for cheap load cells. Manufacturers use stainless steel...Read more -
