A pancake load cell (Universal Load Cell) is an instrument used to measure load, pressure, or weight using an electrical signal sent to an amplifier, which then generates a voltage proportional to the amount of weight applied.
What are Pancake Load Cells Used For?
Pancake load cells are used for tension and compression measurement applications and have a low profile design with a range of measuring 25lbs to over 500,000 lbs. You can see pancake load cells used in today's industries for weighing silos, tanks, and processing hopper scales.
