A strain gauge load cell is a conversion device used to convert a weight or pressure signal into an electrical signal.Strain gauge load cell is a kind of common types of load cell. There are different types of strain gauge lobe cell with various parameters. For example, ATO has the strain gauge lobe cell with S type, 3 ton to 20 ton.It can withstand both tension and pressure with good output symmetry, compact structure and complete specifications. A resistance-strain load cell consists of three main components: the elastomer, the strain gauge and the measurement circuit.

In current society there are many technological products that measure the amount of force, such as measuring pressure, tension, gravity and so on. A load cell, as the name suggests, is an instrument used to measure the gravity of an object. So do you know what a load cell is? And how does it measure the amount of force? ATO will provide you with detailed information about load cells. Please take a look in the followings.

ATO resistance strain gages are mainly composed of four parts: substrate, sensitive grid, adhesive, and protective layer, which are etched with a thickness of 0.005mm metal foil. The sensitive grid is very thin and can better reflect the deformation of the surface of the components, thus the measurement accuracy is high. Strain gauges are widely used in various types of scales, industrial force measurement, stress analysis tests and high temperature melt pressure sensors.
