The load cells are of enormous versatility in the field of weighing devices. Their main strength is definitely the practicality: the basic principle at the base of the load cells is to release a flow signal proportional to the weight that is loaded there, signal which will then be translated into a numeric value from additional accessories. This function is made possible dall’estensimetro content in all the load cells, the extent of which depend on the specific applications for which the cell is usable.

The compression load cells are the most classic device used in industrial weighing. Easy to install, but with a weak point: the compression load cells are in fact extremely sensitive to lateral loads and therefore require the perfect stability and perpendicularity in the application of load. For this reason, over the years, the construction technique of compression load cells has been exceeded by the shear and double-edged. Among the most common applications of compression load cells are definitely weighing silos, even of large dimensions.
