How to Test a Load Cell for Basic Functionality - Engineering Tips

Thank you for the explanation, while programming in psoc, are the four resistances at the bridge 350 ohm resistor or the values changes? What is the best way to amplify the milli-volt signals?

Am a weighing bridge Engineer from Ghana that is the work I do I love this work

Great Job!

Excellent & simple explanation 👍

Hello im having a issue in my load cell where checking the strain gauge resistance between input and signal excitation the resistance is same but when giving voltage to the input and checking at the signal inputs in dc volt ,without applying load im having voltage in signal input as the given input. how can i rectify it??

Thank you so much for this video. I teach engineering and have a brand new (older model) Pitsco structure tester that was not working. They claimed it was the force sensor that was not working anymore and wanted to replace the entire tester for Almost 1K. Found the data sheet for tester and your video. Force tester is working fine...found out that the cable that they had running from the sensor to the onboard output/LCD screen was actually wired incorrectly! Circuit Board has connections SSEE and the sensor schematics have it SESE...It was wired SESE in the clip that connected it to the circuit board...so it was never able to read data! Wondering how many of these models were sold this way...this was not a refurbished structure tester.

Very good, thank you!

What if the resistance is ok but mv. Are going higher.?

Thank you it's helpes

Why do we use 10VDC as input voltage

Thank you. I want yo read the changes in voltage during a tensile test from our load cell. But our load cell is socketed to a (R232 i think) and is not bare wire. What should i do now?

Nicely done. Everything you need to know in under 3 minutes.

Very clear explanation! Keep it up brother!!

Thanks alot. Learned alot.

This is awesome

Is the output linear with applied weight?

Hi guys, how do I calibrate the cell in its factory parameters?

Great Video, would have been good to use a smaller load cell though. 25kgs or 50lbs then your mV would have changed ;)

Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. Thank You 😀

hello what about 6 wire loadcell test is it the same ?

Is working both tension as well?

Funny when Indians try their best to speak in White Accents lol

I'm thinking about making corner weight scales for a car I'm building. Is it ok to leave the weight of the car on the load cells at each corner at all times? In other words, just build the car on the scales and whenever I add weight, turn on the scales and move the load around to try to balance things out, then turn them off when not in use, but NOT remove the load of the overall car?

Loved the clip. If only all presenters had the English you have, with clear accents.

When I measure the load cell I get the reading in volts and not in millivolt/volt. Why?

Just like to ask if the normal resistance value is around 350ohm, and suddendly after using the it sometime, the scale becomes dead and upon measuring the resistance of the excitation and signal becomes double. Its reading is 850ohm on excitation and 780ohm on signal. Whats the cause of it that its value double? Is the load cell damage?

Hello sir could you please tell me how to calibrate weight machine which shows over load. If you tell me i will pay 150 ruppes through mobile sir. Please reply if you know or not.

Is there placed wheatstone bridge inside the load cell normally?

Looks like the lost brother of Hardik Pandya 😂😂

Sir nice information tell me if we have 8 load cell in weigh bridge and value is 2 mv/v how much should be value at out put.

Please call me sir 7388818234

This helps a lot, thank you

Dear Sir , I have an old model of instron 2511 Load Cell which is tension and Compression type , please help me which wire color is used for comression and which one for tension .

Hello Sir,
Have a nice day,
How can i stability test of a load cell ?
please help me.

Why in loadcell lead wire connected from site to panel .Which is 4 wire converted into 6 wire

Dear sir please tell me load cell electrical symbols

Hello sir
I got schenk weight scale 120 Ton
The problem is that after i don't use for 3 days i found mince reading like - 500 kg on the indactor screen

What are those tips on your volt meter called ? Those are so cool !

great video

What if the input read 380 ohms and the output read 350ohms?

Thank you so much for this explanation.
I have same this type of load cell but it doesn't work. can I fix it or just replace it?

Great video ,thanks :) I'm struggling to find any info on what angle to mount a load cell in relation to the direction of force. In sim racing pedals they seem to be accepting an angular load rather than perpendicular to the load cell. Have a look at Heusinkveld Ultimate pedals for example. Thanks again :)

Thank you!
