Strain Gauge Load Cell Basics: Definition and Working Principles

Many industrial scales use strain gauge load cells for accurate measurement. In fact, they are the standard for when a force is applied to a scale and then converted into electrical energy. That is why scale operators can troubleshoot if they know strain gauge load cell basics. If you know the working principle and what … Continued

How to Measure Rain – Rain Gauge Scales

Rain and snow are an integral part of earth’s ecosystem. Snow helps regulate surface temperature, and once it melts, it fills many rivers and reservoirs all around the world.    Rainfall waters our crops and helps life to grow. But, at the same time, too much water and snow can harm your plants, so you … Continued

Load Cell Technology: Strain Gage vs SAW Transducers

The load cell is one of the most important internal components of an industrial scale because it’s the device responsible for the accuracy of your measurements. It’s a type of transducer (a device that converts one form of energy into another) that translates force into an electrical signal. Strain Gage Load Cells: The Most Common … Continued

Strain Gage vs. Force Motor vs. SAW technology

All too often, businesses that purchase scales are caught between a rock and a hard place. If you wanted a precise, high resolution scale, you needed to purchase a scale that could only weigh small capacities. If you wanted to weigh larger capacities, you had to purchase a different scale that could handle the extra … Continued
