SKU 1606-5KGLOADCELLEAN 8219671088138Item type: Assembled

Description

A load cell made up of a metal structure and small elements called strain gauges mounted at precise points on the structure. It provides an electrical output signal that varies with the deformation produced by the force applied to the component. The most common applications are: electronic scales, parts counters, postal parcel scales, and all varieties of single-cell commercial scales.
