Strain gauges are sensors that convert the amount of deformation of a structure into an electrical signal. The strain gauge is a metal structure, inside of which resistors with an electrical circuit are placed. The load cell itself is connected to the scale body mechanically. As soon as the weight on the dispenser changes, the sensor body is deformed and the force is transferred to the built-in strain gauges. They, in turn, create an electrical signal and transmit it to some kind of meter (usually a weighing terminal).

Load cells can differ in accuracy class: A, B, C, D and the number of verification intervals, the number of which decreases to class D. These values are combined into one marking type C2 or C3, which stands for “class C sensor, 2000 intervals.”

Sensors are classified by load type:
– tensile
– for compression
– bending
– universal (tension-compression)
Our product range includes strain gauges manufactured by Tedea-Huntleigh, Revere, Celtron, Sensortronics (under the Vishay TM) of the following types:
– single point
– single and double beam
– cylindrical
– S-shaped
– column, etc.
