They come in different sizes, shapes and capacities. There are different types of load cells available:
Can type - This type of load cell is commonly used in single and multiple weighing applications. It is used in shaft scales, tank scales, ground scales, ship weighing applications, etc.
Single Point - Due to its reliability and price, this type of load cell is available on several types of counting scales, postal, parcel, medical and retail scales. It is used in industrial weighing systems, platform scales, and provides accurate readings regardless of the position of the load on the platform, thus also reducing manufacturing costs.
Single-ended and double-ended shear beams - it has many advantages over other types of designs. It allows limited movement, allows thermal shrinkage and expansion, and lifts protection.
Tension Link - Suitable for applications such as hoist scales, lifting systems, winches and hoist scales. One benefit of this type of load cell is that it provides a high degree of accuracy at high volume weighing.
Torsion ring - It offers excellent versatility and is now available for platform scales and weighing applications.
Model - This type of load cell offers a digital output when compressed or stretched. In addition, it has excellent lateral load suppression, mainly for wireless formats, and the technology is affordable.
Weighing module - consists of a weighing sensor and mounting kit. A load cell composed of load modules can be used for silo weighing, axle weight weighing, vehicle weighing, tank weighing and floor weighing.
Wireless - By using wireless technology, the linear load cell is now available in a wireless format, although this technology can greatly increase the price.
