Rekstrookloadcellen

Rekstrookloadcellen, also known as strain gauge load cells, are a type of transducer used to measure force. They operate on the principle of electrical resistance change in a strain gauge when it is subjected to mechanical deformation. A load cell typically consists of a metallic body, often made of steel or aluminum, onto which strain gauges are bonded. When a force is applied to the load cell, the metallic body deforms slightly. This deformation causes the strain gauges to stretch or compress, altering their electrical resistance. By measuring this change in resistance, a proportional electrical signal can be generated, which is then amplified and processed to indicate the applied force.

These load cells are widely used in various applications requiring accurate force measurement. This includes industrial weighing systems, such as scales and batching equipment, as well as in material testing machines to determine the tensile or compressive strength of materials. They are also found in process control systems, where they monitor and regulate forces in manufacturing operations. The accuracy and reliability of rekstrookloadcellen make them essential components in many fields where precise force measurement is critical for quality control, safety, and efficiency. Their design allows for a wide range of force capacities, from a few grams to many tons.
