What is a load cell and how does it work?

Load cells are one of the most important components of a scale to indicate the correct weight of a product.

The load cell measures the force exerted by a given object on it, transforming this force into an output signal.

The way they detect this force can be by bending, shearing, compression, tension, etc.

Load Cells for industrial platforms:

The PC BARBAL ® are high-precision weighing load cells, available in several maximum capacities. The construction can be completely made of stainless-steel or steel alloy.

The IP68 tight sealing of these load cells ensures reliable accuracy and robustness in the most severe industrial applications.

They are the ideal option for high-precision weighing platforms due to the provision of loading with blind holes combined with the self-centering feet.

 

Weighbridges’ load cells:

The TC-A BARBAL ® analog compression cell is highly accurate and we do have several maximum capacities available. The complete stainless-steel construction and IP69K hermetic sealing guarantee reliable precision and robustness in the most severe industrial applications.

The TC is the ideal option for high-precision truck scales and is equipped with gas dischargers for protection against lightning strikes and the cable with metallic anti-rodent protection.

The TC-DC BARBAL ® digital compression load cell is a high precision compression load cell, available with various maximum capacities. The all stainless-steel construction and the IP69K complete hermetic sealing guarantee reliable precision and robustness in the most severe industrial applications. The TC load cell is the ideal option for high-precision weighbridges and is equipped with gas dischargers to protect against lightning strikes, software angle adjustment, cable with metallic anti-rodent protection and metal connectors.
