Load Cell, Weigh Module, Load Sensor

Load cell systems are essential to accurate weight readings. Without precise and highly durable load cells, you cannot weigh with confidence. Durable, well-designed load cells, sensors and weigh modules from METTLER TOLEDO can withstand heavy-duty loads while remaining highly accurate and reliable. Our weigh modules have incorporated overload and lift-off protection to preserve fast weighing and accurate results for a long lifetime. They withstand vibrations, aggressive raw materials, wind forces, temperature fluctuations and torques from mixers.

What is a load cell?
A scale load cell, or load sensor, is used in variety of industries in which precise measurements are needed. Without accurate measurements, companies can lose money or give away product. Digital load cells offer unparalleled accuracy compared to analog load cells. Load cells accurately measure the weight of tanks, vessels, hoppers or conveyors. Our load cell technology is built to withstand the demands of a variety of rugged industrial applications. The capacity of load cells can greatly vary. Some load cells are more appropriate for laboratory applications, while others are more appropriate for high-capacity batches or logistics applications.

METTLER TOLEDO’s robust high-precision load cells meet all globally-required approvals and standards. They include single-ended beam load cells that allow you to change your structure into a scale. Beam load cells are used in multiples in floor scales, belt weighers, weighing systems, pallet scales, checkweigher scales and conveyor scales. Most METTLER TOLEDO load cells can be globally used in legal weighing systems, and are mostly made from stainless steel to cope with harsh industrial environments. Canister/ring load-cell technology features robustness for harsh environments as well. These are typically used in tank scales, vessel weighing, silo scales and truck weighing.

How does a load cell work?
Load cells work by converting a weight reading into a signal that is then read by a computer located somewhere else, called the terminal. Load cell technology is easily integrated into many kinds of instruments, machines, vehicles and other devices.

How do sensors work?
A weight sensor works by converting weight or a force that is applied against it into a signal. When a load is applied to a sensor, the resistance is changed, which leads to a change in output voltage. Some information can also be found in the load cell installation guide.

What are the most common load cell types and applications?
Load cells come in a variety of types, including: analog load cells, digital load cells, POWERCELL load cells, tensile load cell solutions, load cell 50 ton varieties and much more. Common applications include either use in a standard scale, or use turning a structure into a scale – a weigh module would be more commonly the term used. METTLER TOLEDO offers a variety of load cell technology solutions and load cells for sale.


What are some things to consider before selecting the best load cell manufacturers?
First, it is important to consider your load cell specifications, this is determined by a load cell accuracy calculation, desired readability, and desired reliability. Additionally, consider the load cell capacity calculation, to see what options fit your largest and smallest weight. Load cell wiring is a consideration for placement and safety.

Other considerations around the world include:

• Do I require a micro load cell?
• Do I require a load cell zero balance?
