Choosing the right load cell is critical to obtaining high-quality, accurate readings. Here, we explain the best choice based on application, physical space, orientation, durability, environmental factors, and required signal outputs.
Not all load cells are created equal. What sets the most accurate, reliable and long-lasting apart? This article answers this question to help you find the best quality load cell.
Load cell specifications generally cover three things: (1) what output voltage can you expect for a given load, (2) how much error can you expect for a given output and (3) how to safely operate the load cell. This article explains some of the most common load cell manufacturer's specifications.
The minimum weight, or even change in weight, that a load cell can sense is important information when selecting the right load cell. This article explains how to find this critical piece of knowledge.
All load cells come with a marking such as "IP57". What does this marking tell you? This article gives a brief but detailed explanation of the Ingress Protection rating on all load cells.
What are the most important considerations when mounting and installing load cells in scales or industrial systems? This guide gives best-practice tips.
Load cells contain delicate electronics and require careful handling. Learn quality control procedures for handling, storing and preserving load cells to extend their service life.
Load cell "quadro kits" make building 4-corner weigh systems easy & quick with a perfectly matched, full set of components. Find the right one with this guide.
