What Is a Lifting Load Cell?

A lifting load cell is a transducer designed to measure the force or weight of lifting loads in lifting applications. They convert the force exerted on them into electrical signals for display and analysis.

Applications of Lifting Load Cells

• Crane and Hoist Systems
• Industrial Scales
• Container Weighing
• Aerospace & Aviation
• Automotive Manufacturing

Lifting load cells can determine the weight and load in crane and hoist systems ensuring safety by preventing overloading. Monitoring the weight of containers in the shipping and logistics industry aids in compliance with weight regulations and ensures the safe transportation of goods.

Lifting load cells are used regularly in the aerospace industry to test aircraft components and structures by measuring the forces during takeoff, landing, and turbulence, enhancing the design and assessment of aerospace components.

Lifting Load Cell Case Study

Our ET24 telemetry lifting load cell has been used to measure the centre of mass of a bus. Determining the centre of mass is a critical part of vehicle design and engineering, ensuring that buses and coaches have the ultimate levels of stability while in motion.

A multi-channel system was set up using two ET24-5T and two ET24-12T telemetry lift link load cells, two inclinometers (angle sensors) and a T24-BSu base station. ET24 telemetry load cells were attached to each corner of the bus to monitor the load and the two inclinometers were used to measure the incline. Once the bus was lifted, instantaneous measurements were picked up by a T24-BSu wireless telemetry base station and the data was transmitted straight to the PC or laptop.
