The
single point load cell, also known as a
monocell, is a sensor designed to measure the force exerted on a platform or structure. Its main feature is its ability to provide accurate measurements even with off-center loads, making it an ideal solution for scales and weighing systems.
Operating principle of single point load cells
The operation of a single point load cell is based on strain gauges installed on a metallic body. When a force is applied to the platform, the resulting deformation generates an electrical signal proportional to the weight of the load. This signal is then amplified and converted into an accurate weighing value.
Advantages of single point load cells compared to other load cells
Single point load cells stand out for their ability to provide precise weighing in single-cell platform systems. Unlike other weighing systems that require multiple load cells to ensure stability and accuracy, the single point load cell simplifies installation and reduces maintenance costs.
