Load cells are precision sensors used to measure force or weight in various industrial applications, particularly in automation and MRO. They convert mechanical force into electrical signals, providing accurate readings for processes like weighing, force testing, and load monitoring. Common types include strain gauge, hydraulic, and pneumatic load cells, each suited for different environments and accuracy requirements. Key products in this category include single-point load cells for platform scales, shear beam load cells for industrial weighing, and compression load cells for heavy-duty applications. These devices are essential in automation, manufacturing, and quality control systems where precise force measurement is critical.
