A measuring system has many elements from the force sensor to the output device. Each can potentially introduce error. This article explains calibration’s contribution to the accuracy of the measuring system’s output.
Understand the working principle of optical strain gauge technology and explore its advantages and disadvantages in load applications
Weighing systems often require multiple load cells to record accurate measurements. In this case, a junction or summing box combines signals from these distributed load cell devices. Learn here the trimming process that equalizes these multiple signals to ensure combined signal accuracy.
What is gauge factor? Rated capacity?This useful resource defines common terms and acronyms in the force measurement domain.
In force measurement, environmental noise such as voltage interferes with sensitive load cell applications, leading to errors. Learn best practices on how to reduce these unwanted effects.
Learn about different load cell types that exist and what applications they are suited for: strain gauge, hydraulic, pneumatic, capacitive and piezoelectric transducers
Why do we use load cell amplifiers and signal conditioners to improve load cell signals? This tutorial explains, and compares best products.
Learn what the piezoelectric effect is, which materials create it, their fabrication, and their use in piezoelectric nanomaterials (PN), energy harvesting devices, sensors, and actuators.
When connecting a force sensor and data acquisition (DAQ) system, our overview of how these subsystems work together is a good place to start.
This article explains how to measure forces diverted from the desired force direction (a “force shunt”), to derive accurate force data. This is important when other methods of compensating for force shunts are impractical.
