Compression Type Load Cell

Compression load cells vs.

Compression type load cell.

A tcompression load cell is bent or compressed as opposed to a tension load cell which is pulled apart. So it called s. The reason for this name of this load cell is it has shape like s. Canister beam shear web single point and pancake are examples of compression type load cells.

Te connectivity te offers packaged load cell assemblies for test and measurement applications that require high performance or unique packaging. Generally a compression load cell is placed beneath the object that needs measuring. Compression load cells are categorized by the way the sensor deflects when experiencing strain. This product is available in capacities ranging from 10 to 1000 lbf 50 n to 5 kn.

The impressive compression load cell features are. A load cell is a force transducer. Miniature compression load cell with threaded center hole lc321 the lc321 series are low profile with a 1 4 28 unf center 2 0 linearity and 2mv v output in capacities from 250 lbf to 2 000 lbf. Epoch will provide any type of calibration of load cell.

It is universal type load cell for tension and compression load force tension measurement. See datasheet for available models additional capacities connectors options and accessories. Model sm is a low cost highly accurate unsealed load cell for test machine and other general purpose applications. Depending on the application compression load cells are used to determine any relative changes in.

The most common types of load cell used are hydraulic pneumatic and strain gauge. We have calibration facilities upto 120 tonne compression mode calibration machine and 120 tonne tension mode calibration epoch load cell calibration based on nabl certified master load cell. Sometimes defined as a canister load cell our range of sensors are ideally suited to high accuracy applications in truck and railway scales tank and silo weighing and in heavy duty industrial scales where load cell compression measuring techniques are required. It provides accurate results on low weight measuring application.

S beam load cell s shaped bending beam strain gage based load cell which is temperature compensated over 0 60 deg c it is constructed from electroless nickel plated high alloy tool steel for harsh industrial shock loads and corrosion. Compression and tension load cells. S type load cell is another model of load cell transducers. It converts a force such as tension compression pressure or torque into an electrical signal that can be measured and standardized.

As mentioned previously the strain gauge in a compression load cell is deformed when a load is applied and this deformation is used to produce the measurement. As the force applied to the load cell increases the electrical signal changes proportionally. Our broad range of packaged load cells feature mems silicon strain gages enabling oem s to measure force with low cost and high reliability.
