Load Cells & Weigh Bars FAQs

Load cells are essential for accurate measurements in industrial scales. By using load cells, it is possible to accurately measure weights without having to physically hold or move the object being weighed. This can save time and improve safety in many applications.

The load cell is then connected to a display device such as a digital readout or a load indicator. When an object is placed on the load cell, the load cell will generate a signal that is proportional to the weight of the object. This signal can then be processed by the load indicator to provide a readout of the weight.

In some cases, the load cell may also be linked to a controller that can automatically adjust the load based on the measured weight.

While load cells and weigh bars are designed to be durable and long-lasting, they will eventually need to be calibrated in order to maintain accuracy.

Depending on the frequency of use, load cells and weigh bars should be calibrated at least once a year. However, if you notice that your readings are becoming increasingly inaccurate, it’s a good idea to have your devices calibrated more frequently.
