Load Cell for Full Bridge

Load Cell for Full Bridge

A "Load Cell for Full Bridge" refers to a load cell that is designed to be used in a Full Bridge configuration. In load cell applications, a Full Bridge configuration typically consists of four strain gauges connected in a Wheatstone bridge arrangement. This configuration provides enhanced sensitivity and accuracy in measuring the load or force applied to the load cell.Load cells for Full Bridge configurations are specifically engineered to accommodate the connection of four strain gauges in a Wheatstone bridge arrangement. The load cell design ensures proper wiring and integration with the bridge circuitry.

Product Specifications

1. Capacity: Determine the maximum load or force that the load cell will measure. Make sure to choose a load cell with a capacity that exceeds your application requirements but stays within your budget.

2. Sensitivity: The sensitivity of a load cell refers to the change in output voltage per unit change in applied load. It is usually specified in millivolts per volt (mV/V). Higher sensitivity allows for more accurate and precise force measurements.

3. Material and construction: Load cells are available in various materials such as stainless steel or aluminum, and they can be constructed as either tension or compression load cells. Consider the environmental conditions (e.g., corrosive substances, temperature, humidity) and the type of loading (tension or compression) in your application when choosing the material and construction of the load cell.

4. Accuracy: Look for load cells with high accuracy ratings, usually expressed as a percentage of full scale. Higher accuracy ensures more reliable measurements.

5. Output signal: Full bridge load cells typically have a voltage output, usually in the millivolt range. Ensure that the load cell's output signal is compatible with your data acquisition system or instrumentation.
