Load Cell Creep The band Radiohead has a song called "Creep", it’s a good song. Really good, it’s true. This blog post relates nothing to that song. In our world of load cells, there are three definitions relating to load cell creep. We typically discuss two of them in our force workshops; hence you will […]

AC Versus DC (mV/V) Differences in Load Cell Meters Using a Load Cell Simulator Differences in Load Cell Meters - There is a difference in output between Alternating Current (AC) measurements and Direct Current (DC). To show the difference, we used a load cell simulator on two different meters. We used a simulator that […]
How to Lose Money on Load Cell Calibrations How to Lose Money on Load Cell Calibrations -Intro A low-cost system may increase the need for more frequent calibrations. This can cost more money than equipment that does not need to be calibrated as frequently. The formula for reliability is simple: the number of calibrations that […]
Load Cell Measurement Errors: Can a Load Cell Adapter Plate or Block be Interchanged Without Introducing Additional Errors? Load cell measurement errors - Hardness of the top block used for calibration can result in errors as high as 0.5 % of applied force. We have seen large errors from customers switching out top blocks or […]
Beware of Load Cell Measurement Error - If a Load Cell is to be Used to Make Descending Measurements, it Must be Calibrated with a Descending Range Note: In the above graph the Blue Line represents the descending curve showing high load cell measurement error when compared to the ascending curve. The difference in output […]
Load Cell Transitioning from One Mode to Another. Does it Make a Difference? This post will examine the effects of Load Cell Transitioning by calibrating the load cell in compression by switching to tension and then back to compression versus calibrating in tension first and then compression. We will determine if there is a statistical […]
What You Need to Know about Having a Load Cell Calibrated with 2 Ranges Load cell calibrated with 2 ranges has a common error that can be referred to as Molecule Excitement Decline might explain why the use of a low range calibration on a reference standard can lead to additional errors. This post will […]
Important Force Measurement Practice - Load Cell with a Flat Base A Load Cell with a Flat Base A Load Cell with a Flat Base can be crucial to obtaining great calibration results with load cells. The error is associated with installing a nonflat base on a multi-column cell. Below is the actual test […]
How to Avoid Load Cell Cable Length Errors The majority of force or torque systems we calibrate each year consist of load or torque cells, an indicator or readout, load cell cables, adapters, and some sort of shipping or carrying case. Around 90 % of these systems come in with an indicator only capable of […]
Types of Load Cells - Choosing the Right Load Cell for Your Application The purpose of this article is to discuss the common types of load cells used in general force measurements. We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each type of load cell. Types of Load Cells consist of the following: Column Load […]
Morehouse 7-Step Process For Troubleshooting A Load Cell Visual Inspection Lets Us Know Which Cell Is Damaged Troubleshooting A Load Cell Simplified. Have you spent countless hours trying to figure out what is not working? Is it the load cell, is it the meter, the cable, or something else? We have wasted countless hours trying […]
