  • A load cell is a Strain gauge.
  • A load cell is a type of sensor that is used to measure force or weight, and it typically uses strain gauges as the sensing element.
  • A strain gauge is a type of sensor that measures strain or deformation in an object by detecting changes in resistance.
  • When a force is applied to a load cell, it deforms slightly, which causes the strain gauges to stretch or compress.
  • This results in a change in resistance, which can be measured and used to calculate the force applied to the load cell.
  • Load cells are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications, such as weighing scales, process control systems, and force measurement devices.
  • They are also used in research and development applications, such as material testing and biomechanics studies.
