Types of weighing load cells

Different applications require different types of load cells. Here are the most common types used in weighing systems:

1. Single Point Load Cells: Ideal for small to medium-sized platforms, providing accurate measurements regardless of where the load is placed on the platform.

2. Shear Beam Load Cells: Used in larger platforms and industrial scales, offering high accuracy and durability.

3. S-Type Load Cells: Known for their S-shaped design, these load cells are used in both tension and compression applications.

4. Compression Load Cells: Designed to measure weight by compressing under the load, commonly used in truck scales and heavy-duty weighing systems.
