Model ELC-150S-H (MTI.EWS.ER.M.ELC-150S-H) load cell comprises of a columnar element of high strength martensitic stainless steel. The sensor utilizes sixteen 350 Ohm resistance strain gages, wired to form a 1400 Ohm bridge. To minimize the effect of uneven and eccentric loading, the strain gages are equally spaced along the circumference. The sectional area of the element is varied in the different capacity load cells to give approximately the same millivolt output for a variation of zero to full load. Load applied to the cell can be measured by using any standard digital read out unit suitable for resistive strain gage type sensors. The data can also be automatically collected at desired frequency, stored and transmitted to remote server by a suitable datalogger using multiplexer/ busmux or SDI-12 digital interface.
