Frequently Asked Questions
What is an S-type load cell and how does it work?
An S-type load cell (or S-beam load cell) is a force sensor shaped like the letter "S". It operates by converting tension or compression forces into an electrical signal (typically in mV/V) via strain gauges bonded to the alloy steel body when force is applied.
What are the main applications of S-shape load cells?
S-type load cells are highly versatile and commonly used in mechanical and electrical integration scales, crane scales, hopper scales, suspended loads, tank weighing systems, and various industrial measurement installations.
What capacity ranges do these S-type load cells support?
Our S-type load cells offer a wide measuring range starting from 100kg up to 1.5 Tons (1.5T), which is ideal for both light and medium load measurement applications.
What is the environmental protection rating of these sensors?
They feature an IP65 environmental protection rating with complete hermetic sealing, protecting internal components from dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making them suitable for most industrial environments.
Can these load cells measure both tension and compression?
Yes, S-type load cells are specifically designed to receive both tension and compression forces, offering high accuracy, versatility, and stable performance in a compact package.
What material is used in the construction of these load cells?
They are constructed from high-grade alloy steel, ensuring long-term durability, excellent linearity, and high repeatability under various operating conditions.
