Industry Information
Digital Load Cells
Digital load cells are used in mechanical testing, system monitoring, fatigue testing and calibration systems as well as being components built into industrial machinery for the manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, energy, materials testing and healthcare industries. Load cells that have gone digital feature high accuracy and resolution. These transducers most often operate with a rechargeable battery and are charged overnight or after about 8 hours of work. They operate alone or in conjunction with other equipment or computer systems. Digital load cells have an LED digital display panel with screens and may have more than one load cell. They measure weight or force, process the information found and display the result on a digital readout screen in appropriate units. The digital aspect of load cells don't do the measuring, but rather monitor and record data and are attached to the measurement components. This style of read-out is now preferred to analog output because it saves time and is more accurate.
The actual measuring of force is done in two parts within a load cell. Strain gauges are the sensor part of the load cell, which is a coil shaped sensor that is deformed by the weight of a push or pull force and is then able to convert this deformation into an electrical current. A push force, also known as a negative force is measured by a compression load cell, while the pull away or positive force is measured by a tension load cell. Since there are multiple strain gauges working within a single load cell, they require the second part of the load cell configuration, the circuits, which link them together and translate the electric signal to the analog or digital output system. Another sensor tool used in load cells is piezoelectric sensors, which utilize crystals to do the measuring of force instead of a coil. Either way, the more sensor tools that are configured together in a single load cell the more sensitive it will be and therefore the more accurate and precise the information gleaned will be.
