Step onto any household or commercial weighing scale, and suddenly your weight magically appears in neat digital numbers. But how does a simple platform know exactly how much you weigh down to a tenth ...

A digital weigh scale is one of the most precise analog instruments. Weigh scales, which use force sensors to measure the load offered by an object, are used in a multitude of applications ranging ...

Our old algebra teacher used to say, “You have to take what you know and use it to get what you don’t know.” That saying always reminds of us sensors that convert physical quantities into things our ...

It is now possible to simultaneously monitor six dimensions using a load cell. • The world of 6DoF load cells is characterized more by customization than by standards. • Multiaxis load cells measure ...

• Force vectors don’t want to remain in line with the object being pushed. • Load-cell specifications usually do not call out accuracy, but rather linearity, repeatability, and hysteresis. • Accuracy ...
