That means it is very sturdy but also minimally elastic.
Load cell material.
It is hermetically sealed to provide better environmental protection.
The cell is recommended for tank truck track and hopper type industrial applications.
Starrett offers a full range of precision load cell sensors for material testing force analysis and force measurement applications.
The stainless alloy used is 17 4 ph.
The electricity generated is measured to indicate the weight through a calibration process.
Load cells generally consist of a spring element on which strain gauges have been placed.
The body is usually made of aluminum alloy steel or stainless steel which makes it very sturdy but also minimally elastic.
Starrett load cells are compliant with ieee 1451 4 and meet or exceed astm e4 bs 1610 iso 7500 1 and en 10002 2.
Structurally a load cell has a metal body to which strain gauges have been secured.
The cell is supplied with an integral 20 meter cable.
Most strain gauge load cells work in very similar ways but may vary in size material and mechanical setup which can lead to each cell having different max loads and sensitivities that they can handle.
Aluminum load cells are limited by their low capacity range and should not be exposed to wet or chemical conditions.
The third material used for load cell manufacturing is stainless steel.
This elasticity gives rise to the term spring element referring to the body of the load cell.
Except for certain laboratories where precision mechanical balances are still used strain gauge load cells dominate the weighing industry.
Measurement accuracies of 0 5 of reading down to 1 100 of sensor capacity may be achieved.
The load cells use a piezo electric material like silicon disk that generates electricity in proportion to the pressure applied due to weight loaded.
Aluminum is the least expensive of the three materials used to manufacture load cells.
The spring element is usually made of steel or aluminum.
Compression load cell compression load cell description model 90210 is a strain gage based multicolumn compression type of load cell.
