Different Types of Load Cells

If you work or have worked in an industry that involves regular weighing of your products or goods, you have probably heard of the term load cell. While you know they must be working correctly in order to have your digital scales functioning properly, most people do not fully understand what they are and the different types of load cells. In order to better understand the importance of a load cell, you must first learn what exactly a load cell is.

A load cell is a transducer that is used to create an electrical signal whose magnitude is directly proportional to the force being measured. Specific to weight and scales, a load cell is a weight measurement device necessary for electronic scales that display weights in digits. Basically, this is the component of the scale which allows you see the weight, in the proper numerical digits, of whatever you are weighing. Seems pretty straightforward and self explanatory. However, there are three different types of load cells; low capacity, mid-range and high capacity, which each function to meet the demands required by various industries.
