What is Hysteresis? Almost any load cell specification sheet has a term called Hysteresis. This particular article hopes to explain what the term load cell hysteresis is. Load Cell Accuracy: Simple Definition In a simplistic sense, hysteresis is a way to measure how well a load cell returns to its starting point when force is […]
What is Non Linearity? Almost any load cell specification sheet has a term called static Non-Linearity. This particular article hopes to explain what the term Non Linearity is. Load Cell Accuracy: Simple Definition of Non Linearity In simplistic terms Non Lineratiry tells us how much a load cell's readings might not follow a straight line […]
What is Static Error Band (SEB)? Almost any load cell specification sheet has a term called static Error Band. The term itself can be used to describe one of many accuracy specifications found on a load cell specification sheet. This particular article hopes to explain what the term Static Error Band is. Load Cell Accuracy: […]
What is My Load Cell Accuracy? At Morehouse, we are frequently asked about Accuracy, with a question such as “What is the accuracy of this system you offer for sale?” or "What is the load cell accuracy?" At first glance, it should be an easy question to answer, and, indeed, we could simply give a […]
Specifying a Tolerance, the Difference Between Percentage of Indicated Value vs % of Full-Scale Output - Intro In looking at various equipment, it seems the force equipment in the test and measurement industry specifically specifies tolerances as a percent of full scale. When determining accuracy or tolerance, several crane scales, tension links, and hand-held force […]
Load Cell Stability – How It Can Kill Your Uncertainty Budget Load cells are a combination of metal, strain gauges, adhesive, and more. Like humans, every measuring instrument is subject to aging. Load cells age from mechanical stress or fatigue, and over time this ensures that there will be some instability in the system. Some […]
