What are Load Cells?
A load cell is a sensor which transforms the
load or force applied to it into an electrical signal. Load cell sensors are
based on the strain-gauge principle i.e. a sensor whose resistance varies with
applied force. They are the most widely used as load transducers in all areas
of weight measurement from retail scales, the process industry and medical
applications.
