From last many years it is science that has brought changes in each and every field. It is the impact of science which has made many tough tasks much easier. History has witnessed major technological advancements leading to a better quality of work life. One of such advancement in sensor technology is Load cells. Load cell is a device that is used to convert a force into electrical signal. The signals are read to be used for quick and precise measurements. It is used for loading purpose, no matter it is static or dynamic. The readings given are highly accurate. They are rugged and compact in their design.
Load cells come in many varieties. The type and usage depends and differs from industry to industry. Some of the types of load cell are strain gauge load cells, hydraulic load cells, Pneumatic Load Cells, Piezoelectric load cells, capacitive load cells and the list goes on.
Load cells are highly used in the aerospace applications. They are instrumental in testing generic components for strength, force endurance levels, component longevity, and the like. They are also used to test frame structure integrity, endurance and life cycles. Another use comes during the in flight testing. It monitors airframe structural forces. The monitoring is not limited to structural forces. It also helps in monitoring of the flight control system.
Cost is not a criterion while purchasing load cells. They come at affordable price and are durable in nature. They have a much longer life span.
