Engineering Tips & FAQs
Technical advice for standard integration and mounting.
Q: What should I consider for button load cell alignment?
Alignment is critical for button load cells to avoid off-center loading errors. Use a hardened spherical load button if the loading surface is not perfectly flat.
Q: How does mounting alignment affect the accuracy of an S-Type load cell compared to a Button load cell?
S-Type load cells are primarily designed for tension and compression, requiring precise vertical alignment to avoid side-loading errors. In contrast, Button load cells (compression only) are highly sensitive to non-parallel surfaces; using a spherical loading button or a hardened surface is critical to ensure the point of contact remains centered, minimizing eccentric load errors.
Q: What causes a 'zero shift' in shear beam load cells after a long period of industrial use?
A permanent zero shift often indicates that the sensor has been subjected to a load exceeding its safe overload limit (typically 150% of capacity), leading to plastic deformation of the strain gauge or the spring element. In washdown environments, it could also signal moisture ingress through a degraded cable seal.
