Load Cell Systems — Special Applications

For many applications, a single load cell with an indicator is not sufficient. Additional components can be added which enable you to obtain and interpret the data required for your application. Multiple load cells are often used to create systems that integrate data from multiple objects being weighed simultaneously. Signal conditioners can amplify, convert, or otherwise "condition" the signal from the load cell into one that is compatible with the device receiving and interpreting the signal. In multiple load cell systems, junction boxes are necessary to combine and trim the load cell signals into one signal usable by the indicator or PC. Wireless electronics are available to make any system infinitely more versatile and portable. These are but a few examples of the many options available for system customization.
