Force Calibration Simplified: Expected Performance in Load Cell Calibration Procedures

Force Calibration Simplified: Expected Performance in Load Cell Calibration Procedures Expected performance in load cell calibration procedures is a key concept that we have adopted at Morehouse. The term likely originated from discussions during ASTM committee meetings among industry experts. Expected performance helps define how accurately a force-measuring tool works when tested under ideal laboratory […]

Embracing Failure in Calibration: Why Failing Fast, Failing Often, and Failing Cheap Is the Key to Growth (Embracing Failure as a Leader and a Metrologist)

Embracing Failure in Calibration: Why Failing Fast, Failing Often, and Failing Cheap Is the Key to Growth (Embracing Failure as a Leader and a Metrologist) Many of us have been conditioned to fear failure. From early school years to professional life, success is often celebrated, while mistakes are typically hidden or punished. Yet what if […]

How Do Load Cells Work

How Do Load Cells Work? Load cells measure force by converting mechanical strain into an electrical signal using strain gauges. When a load is applied, the cell deforms slightly—this strain is detected by strain gauges bonded to the structure. The gauges change resistance as they stretch or compress, producing a signal proportional to the applied […]

Budget Load Cell Tests: Load Cell Shoulder Loading Errors

Budget Load Cell Tests: Load Cell Shoulder Loading Errors  Morehouse has previously addressed load cell shoulder loading errors and thread engagement in videos and articles. Here, we investigate the results of a simple design change we incorporated into our BLC series. Specifically, what occurs if an adapter is removed and the load is applied directly […]

Amplified Load Cells (4-20mA, 0 -10 VDC) made Easy

Amplified Load Cells (4-20mA, 0 -10 VDC) Amplified load cells are specialized force measurement devices that integrate a built-in signal conditioning system, outputting a standardized 4-20mA or 0-10VDC signal. These load cells are widely used in industrial applications where robust, noise-resistant, and long-distance transmission is required. Unlike traditional load cells, which output a low-level millivolt […]
