Where to Purchase Load Cells Online

Weighing applications are present in almost every industry. Load cells and scales are the predominant solution for these applications. What is a Load Cell? The term “load cell” is often used in the discussion of industrial scales or similar weighing devices. In the simplest sense, a load cell is a force transducer. A transducer is … Continued

Tank Load Cells & Hopper Scales

Tank load cells and hopper scales are used for weighing tanks, hoppers, and vessels. These containers are designed to hold products in bulk, often for industrial purposes; this is called batch weighing. Such items are usually loose, tiny, or tedious to weigh individually. Grain is one such example; individual rice or wheat grains are too … Continued

Aerospace Scales and Weighing Systems

When it comes to aerospace scales and weighing systems, you want to conform to national or international standards and regulations. Aerospace generally refers to the science of designing vehicles and crafts that can fly through the Earth’s atmosphere and sometimes past it, such as with planes, helicopters, and space shuttles. Such developments also lead to … Continued

Faulty Load Cells? 5 Common Problems & Solutions

Faulty load cells can mess with your readings during the weighing process. Since they bear the burden of delivering on precision and accuracy, sudden problems can interfere with your daily business operations. That’s why it’s good to know the signs of faulty load cells, as well as common problems and solutions. We go through some … Continued

3 Types of Load Cells

Industrial scales use load cells to convert various forces from weighing objects into measurable electrical signals. Placing an object on a platform can generate tension, compression, bending, shear, torque, or pressure. These are mechanical forces. The cell then converts them into electrical signals. Various load cells can serve particular applications, depending on the environment and … Continued

What Is Load Cell Creep?

Load cell creep is perfectly natural in load cells. It is the change of the cell’s output in real-time while it is weighing an object. This happens under constant load conditions and assuming the time period is long. These refer to when a weight does not change during a period of time. If the weight … Continued

Digital Computing Scale

Industrial scales are made to precisely weigh very high weight commodities that would otherwise destroy other small scales. The industrial scales from Arlyn Scales come with a digital indicator that displays the weight of the commodity on the platform. Rather than stick with analog models, digital industrial scales can provide more benefits such as improved … Continued

Compression Load Cells

Compression load cells use a specific force that converts into output signals for measurement. They are essentially a block that feel a push rather than a pull. Many load cells have strain gauges that react to tension, compression, torque, and other forces applied to them. Tension is a force that pulls on the strain gauge … Continued
