Load Cells

Load cells are transducers that are designed as measuring devices. They gauge and monitor forces of compression, tension, and shear by converting sensed mechanical force into measurable electrical signals.

Often, you’ll hear the term “load cell” used interchangeably with “transducer,” “load sensors,” “sensor” or “gauge.” In some senses, these are different things, while in other senses, they are not. For example, sensors and gauges are a part of load cells. Yet, sensors are a type of transducer as well. You can see where the confusion comes in! So, while it is appropriate to call load cells and sensors both “transducers,” it’s less appropriate to call sensors and gauges “load cells.” Nevertheless, be prepared to see them used this way, and if you are confused, never hesitate to ask for clarification.

This technology is commonly employed for mechanical and industrial testing, ongoing system load monitoring, as components in devices like industrial scales and other areas of the manufacturing, processing, and testing industries.
