S-beam load cell
An S-beam load cell is a device used to measure force or weight. It has a distinctive āSā shape, made from materials that change their electrical resistance when they are stretched or compressed. When a force is applied to the load cell, it bends or deforms slightly, and this change in resistance is converted into an electrical signal. The strength of this signal indicates the amount of force or weight being measured. S-beam load cells are known for their durability and accuracy, making them useful in weighing systems, testing, and industrial applications.
