Strain Gauge Load Cell, S type, 5kg/50kg/1000kg/3 ton to 20 ton

After purchasing one ATO load cell, you can buy a special digital panel meter to obtain readings directly, or buy a transmitter to output standard signal to PLC, DCS and other systems. Customized output signal is 0-5V, 0-10V, or 4-20mA.

Note: The load cell cannot be connected to both the transmitter and the controller at the same time — only one can be selected.

Tension and compression load cells have capacity range from 5kg, 50kg, 300kg, 1000kg, 3 ton to 20 ton. Strain gauge load cell capacity can be customized according to customer requirements.

Tips: How to select load cells?
The selection of the load cell quantity is decided according to the application of the electronic weighing instrument, the number of points required to be supported of the scale (the number of points should be determined according to the principle that the geometric gravity center of the scale should coincide with the practical gravity center). Generally, the quantity of the supporting points is exactly the quantity of the load cell. However, as to some special scales, such as the electronic crane scale, only one sensor will be employed. Some electronic-mechanical scales should be decided of the load cell quantity according to the practical conditions.
The selection of the load cell range can be determined according to the comprehensive assessment of the maximum weighing value of the scale, the quantity of the load cell, the dead weight of the scale, the possible generated maximum eccentric load, dynamic load and other factors. Generally, if the measuring range of the load cell is close to the load distributed to each sensor, the weighing accuracy is high. However, in the practical operation, because the load exerted to the sensor still includes the scale dead weight, tare weight, eccentric load and vibratory impulse and so on in addition to the weighed products, factors of several aspects should be considered in selecting the load cell range, so as to ensure the safety and service life of the load cell.

Shear Beam Load Cell | Single & Double-Ended, Weighbridge Load Cells

The shear beam load cell is a common load cell. Its working principle is based on the deformation of the elastomer when it is acted upon by an external force. This deformation will cause the resistance of the elastomer to change, thereby achieving the measurement of the external force. It is typically used to measure forces in the small to medium range and its working principle is based on the shear effect of elastically deforming materials. This type of force measuring element is usually made of metal or polymer materials. Because of its high elastic modulus and shear modulus, it can produce stable shear deformation when subjected to external forces.

Some questions of load cell

I've helped my daughter calculate the drag on spheres of various sizes and I think our range will be 0-20 N where we're interested in capturing things in the 0-5 N range.
I have a question. When you reference "zero output" in the specs as 1% full scale, does that mean that your error around zero is 1% full scale? So a 5 kg scale would have an error of 0.05 kg around zero. I've been looking at the various s-type load cells.

I'm curious if you might have anything on the scratch and dent shelf, or return shelf, or could possibly provide an educational discount. I don't think we really meet the listed requirements for the educational discount. This work is performed at home. We could certainly write a review after all is said and done. My daughter will also make a poster where we could acknowledge ATO as a contributor.
