In contrast to other solutions hydraulic load cells are safe from damage caused by lightning strikes or other electrical surges.
Hydraulic load cell definition.
As the force increases the pressure of the hydraulic fluid increases.
A load cell is a force transducer.
The most common types of load cell used are hydraulic pneumatic and strain gauge.
In a rolling diaphragm type hydraulic force sensors a load or force acting on a loading head is transferred to a piston that in turn compresses a filling fluid confined within an elastomeric diaphragm chamber.
Hydraulic load cell applications can include tank bin and hopper weighing.
Hydraulic load cells measure weight as a change in pressure of the internal fluid.
Compression load cell systems.
In hydraulic load cell a load or force acting on a loading head is transferred to a piston that in turn compresses a filling fluid confined within an elastomeric diaphragm chamber.
A load cell is typically little more than a piston or diaphragm with a small oil filled compression chamber.
As the force applied to the load cell increases the electrical signal changes proportionally.
Miniature load cell hydraulic cells are force balance devices measuring weight as a change in pressure of the internal filling fluid.
All hydraulic scale types consist of one or more load cells and a means of translating the resultant pressure into a visible mass indication.
