Resistive strain gauges, elastomers, and detection circuits are the first and foremost parts of the equation. An elastomer is a special shaped structure. It has two functions, firstly, it bears the load of the force on the cell and the external force, to achieve a relatively static balance, and secondly, it is a high-quality strain field (zone), in this category of the ambition of the strain resistance strain gauge paste jujube electrical signal conversion to complete the mission.
Resistance strain gauge load cells are based on a criterion: the elastic deformation of the elastomer (elastic element, sensitive beam) under the action of external forces, so that it is also accompanied by deformation, the resistance value of the resistance strain gauge deformed on the surface of the resistance strain gauge (conversion element) will change (increase or decrease), and then, the corresponding change in the resistance of the measuring circuit is converted into an electrical signal (voltage or current), thus completing the process of converting the force into an electrical signal.
Generally, the load cell should be operated within 30%-70% of its range. However, for some scales with greater impact force in the application process, such as dynamic rail scales, dynamic truck scales, steel scales, etc., when selecting the load cell, it is generally necessary to expand its range, so that the load cell operates within 20%-30% of its range, so that the weighing storage range of the load cell is increased, so as to ensure the safety and life of the load cell. The choice of load cell type depends on the type of weighing and the space of the equipment to ensure that the equipment is suitable and the weighing is safe and reliable.
On the other hand, consider the recommendations of the load cell manufacturing plant. The manufacturer will generally be based on the load cell force situation, function policy, equipment method, structural type, elastomer material and other characteristics of the load cell application plan, such as aluminum cantilever beam load cell is suitable for pricing scales, floor scales, portable scales, etc., steel cantilever beam load cells are suitable for hopper scales, electronic belt scales, sorting scales, etc., steel bridge load cells are suitable for rail scales, truck scales, crane scales, etc., column load cells are suitable for truck scales, dynamic rail scales, large tonnage hopper scales, etc.

Wiring of weighing strain gauge tension and compression sensors – we are in control
Strain gauge tension and compression load cells are available in two different input and output wiring methods:
The first is the four-wire connection method.
The load cell of the four-wire connection method has no special requirements for the secondary instrument panel, and it is very convenient to use, but when the cable is long, it is easy to be shaken by the operating temperature.
