The weighing
of any object on a scale has already become an intuitive and routine process.
Well, you are used to doing it every day: either in the kitchen to prepare a
recipe or in the supermarket while you do your shopping.
Epoch
Instruments and Controls Pvt ltd is one of the best Load cell Manufacturers in
Bangalore.
But behind
something that is part of everyday life, there is a very complex instrument
that involves physics, mechanics and engineering and that contains components
that you possibly never thought about, such as load cells.
Well, have
you ever wondered how a scale can really dictate the weight of a bag of fruit?
Despite not being able to see them, the scales are built, inside, by several
elements that, more than the screen or the plate / platform, are responsible
for determining the weight.
But what are load cells after all?
Load cells
are transducers, that is, devices that convert one type of energy into another
type of energy. In this case, they are electromechanical transducers that are
inside a balance to convert a force into an electrical signal.
A force that
is measured, indirectly, through the response of the material to the
application of load. And it is this
response that, transformed into a measurable electrical signal, allows us to
discover the weight of a certain object.
Epoch is
also one of the best Payload
Monitoring System.
And how do they work?
The load
cells operate on the basis of strain gauges and sensors, but the mode of
operation depends on the variant you are using and the type of balance on which
they are installed.
Generally,
they measure the deformation of a material (such as steel or aluminum), caused
by the application of the load on the weighing equipment pan, transforming the
deformation into an electrical signal.
Depending on
the conditions of each cell and the purpose for which they are manufactured,
they also have different characteristics, such as sensitivity and linearity -
which can vary the results.
And now that
you have clarified some doubts about one of the most important components of a
scale, you can take the opportunity to choose the equipment that contains the
load cell that best suits you and your business in the Bangalore online store.
