Sensor Properties

• So many combinations of specs are mutually

exclusive: Specifying a load cell is trading one

performance criteria against another.

– Example Pick 3 and you compromise the fourth

• High load capacity

• Small size

• High accuracy

• Immunity to extraneous loads

OFF AXIS LOADINGTORQUE

SIDE LOADING

Extraneous Loading

Pancake Style load cells

have excellent off axis

immunity

Typically 20% side load

gives less than x% error

Pancake design

Extraneous Loading

Poor off axis

performance due to

Miniature design

Distance from centerline to gauges

Extraneous Loading

The larger the width to
