A compression load cell is a device designed to measure compressive loads applied to an object. It operates by utilizing the resistance change of strain gauges. When a compressive load causes deformation in the strain gauges, this change is converted into an electrical signal to measure the load.
Compression load cells find wide applications in weighing instruments, manufacturing machinery, construction equipment, and various other fields. Their key feature lies in their simple and cost-effective structure and high precision in measuring loads.
The mechanism involves applying a compressive load to the load cell, causing deformation in the strain gauges. The change in deformation is then converted into an electrical signal to measure the load. When using these load cells, it's important to operate within the rated load range, consider ambient temperature and humidity, and conduct regular calibration.
