Theoretically, load cell is a transducer that is primarily used to convert a force into an electrical signal. The conversion of the force happens through a mechanical arrangement where the force being sensed deforms a strain gauge, which is converted into electrical signals.

Companies have varying load sensing needs. Choosing the right products for industrial use is vital to ensure there is consistent amount of electrical signal is generated for production. Here’s a short note on a variety of load cells which are primarily used for industrial purposes.

Capacitive Load Cells 1. Serial USB – There are load cells that offer serial, USB as well as Analog (0-5V DC) output without the need for any special signal conditioning equipment. 2. PC Compatible – Digital load cells can be used with a PC while our analog load cells are ideal for use with a PLC or data acquisition system. 3. Easy-of-Use – Capacitive load cells offer unmatched ease of use in a low profile, rugged and integrated package.
