If you’ve ever wondered how single point load cell sensors work, here’s your answer!.
Load cell principle involves the use of many specific geotechnical instruments.It can’t work without being paired up with sensors, one of them being Strain Gauges.
Strain Gauges are thin elastic materials made up of stainless steel and are fixed inside the load cells using proprietary adhesives. The strain gauge has a specific resistance that is directly proportional to its length and width.
When a force is applied on the load cell, it bends or stretches causing the strain gauge to move with it. And, when the length and cross-section of the strain gauge changes, its electrical resistivity also gets altered, thereby changing the output voltage.
There is another concept involved with the working principle of load cells. Let’s have a look aset it.
