What is an S-type load cell? What are the characteristics?

1、 What is an S-type load cell?

　　S-type load cellIt is one of the types of load cells, named because its appearance is a& Ldquo; S& Rdquo; The shape of the model is shown in the following figure. In addition, the types of load cells also include single point load cells, spoke load cells, cantilever beam load cells, corrugated pipe load cells, column load cells, and so on.
　

The S-type weighing sensor has a dual function of tension and pressure, which can measure tension and pressure, hence it is also known as a tension and pressure sensor. Usually suitable for measuring the tension and pressure of hook scales, forklift scales, mechanical scale modifications, and warehouse/hopper/drum slot weighing.

2、 What is the working principle of the S-type weighing sensor?

The elastic body undergoes elastic deformation under external force, causing the resistance strain gauge attached to its surface to also deform. After the deformation of the resistance strain gauge, its resistance value will change (increase or decrease), and then the corresponding measurement circuit converts this resistance change into an electrical signal (voltage or current), thus completing the process of converting the external force into an electrical signal.

3、 What are the characteristics of S-type load cells?

1. Small in size, easy to install, simple, and reliable. Any hopper or hanging object can be configured with an S-type pull type weighing sensor and its corresponding connectors to form a weighing system for trade settlement.

2. The range is mainly small, with high accuracy and strong resistance to bias load.

3. The material is usually stainless steel and aluminum alloy, welded and sealed, with high protection level, and can be used in various complex industrial environments.
