How does load cell work? A load cell, also called a transducer, converts a mechanical force into an electrical signal or digital value that users can review and record. In its simplest form, the load cell bends when weight is applied. In a compression-mounted load cell, where the| Active Scale

Keeping your scales clean improves their performance in both the short and long term, ultimately saving you money by prolonging the life of your scale and preventing damage| Active Scale
Load cells are at the heart of how a weighing system works. Their technology has been refined to be as precise as possible. Today’s load cells calculate non-intrusive, highly accurate load measurement data. And when they are calibrated well, their accuracy measures around 0.03 to 1%. Load cells are found in platform scales to| Active Scale
