Classification of weighing sensors

Classification of weighing sensors: Weighing sensors are classified into eight types according to their conversion methods, including photoelectric, hydraulic, electromagnetic force, capacitive, magnetic pole variation, vibrating, gyroscopic, and resistance strain gauge types. Among them, the resistance strain gauge type is widely used.

A force sensor used in weighing scales, the resistive strain gauge weighing sensor converts the gravitational force acting on the object being measured into a measurable output signal at a certain ratio.

Several major development trends of weighing sensors

There are several major development trends in weighing sensors. According to the conversion method, weighing sensors are divided into eight categories: photoelectric, hydraulic, electromagnetic force, capacitive, magnetic pole change, vibrational, gyroscopic, and resistance strain gauge. Among them, the resistance strain gauge type is widely used.

How to choose a weighing sensor

Choosing a high-quality weighing sensor is every step in the weighing controller's acquisition of weighing accuracy. A weighing sensor (also known as a load sensor or converter) is a mechanical force used to process metal bending loads, which is converted into an electrical signal. The bending does not exceed the elasticity of the metal and is measured by strain gauges bonded to point units.
