Bending load cells are sensors designed to measure the force applied to a structure through the controlled deformation of an elastic body. They are primarily used in industrial weighing systems, such as scales and platforms, ensuring precise and consistent measurements.
Operating principle of bending load cells
The operation of these load cells is based on strain gauges installed on a metallic body. When the structure is subjected to a bending force, the gauges detect the deformation and generate an electrical signal proportional to the applied load. This signal is then converted into an accurate and reliable weight value.
Application of bending load cells in industrial environments
In industrial environments, bending load cells are essential for ensuring accuracy in weighing processes, inventory control, and production automation. They are ideal for both static and dynamic weighing systems, delivering optimal performance in demanding conditions.
