The Soil Instruments strain gauge load cell consists of a stainless steel cylindrical housing with up to sixteen resistance strain gauges to minimise the sensitivity to eccentric loading.

When the cell is subjected to load the strain gauges will change their resistance value. The output signal is directly proportional to the applied load.

The cell is temperature compensated and available as a mV/V output or a 4 to 20mA output.

A heavy gauge multi-core, PVC sheathed cable connects to the load cell, which can be connected directly to a read-out unit or via a switched terminal unit. Alternatively load cells can be wired direct to dataloggers.

Accurate, robust and very good long term stability
Fast response time
Fast Negligible temperature effects compared with hydraulic load cell.
Accuracy unaffected by cable length
Suitable for measurement, remote reading and data-logging
The connecting cable is strong, screened and flexible
Load cell is not susceptible to partial collapse due to fluid leakage which can be experienced with hydraulic load cells.
