Strain-gage load cells are made by a metallic core over which one or more strain-gages are stick; the strain-gages detect the strain of the metal produced by the load applied on the load cell. The strain-gages are wired in a Wheatstone bridge mode in such a way that the voltage on one diagonal of the bridge (output signal) is proportional to the load and the supply voltage (mV/V).
Pin load cells are normally used in single cell weighing systems and, thus, the output signal is not calibrated at zero and full scale as the calibration have to be done, anyhow, at the transmitter.
Model PR load cell can guarantee an high reliability due to the stainless steel construction and the protection of the strain-gages obtained by the plasma welding of the seal disks.
Model PR does not foresee standard nominal load and dimension.
The mechanical characteristics and the dimensions are designed in according to the specific requirements of each application.
Some applications are:
-Crane overload control
-Rope load, belt tension measurement, etc.
