Load cells are transducers that convert force or weight into an electrical signal.
Straight bar load cells are a type of load cell that typically consists of a metal bar with strain gauges attached to it. When force is applied to the load cell, it causes the metal bar to deform slightly, which in turn changes the resistance of the strain gauges. This change in resistance is then converted into an electrical signal that can be measured and interpreted to determine the force applied to the load cell.
Straight bar load cells are often used in applications where force needs to be measured in a single direction, such as in weighing scales, industrial automation, and material testing equipment. They come in various sizes and capacities to suit different applications and are known for their durability and accuracy.
