More Load Cell Videos on You Tube

The Internet has grown and developed into a huge resource on a million and one different subjects over the last two decades including Load Cells. One popular resource to help sift through the masses of information has been You Tube which allows everyone and anyone to upload videos providing an audio-visual experience to the more traditional text and image based Internet resources.

We last looked at Load Cell Videos on You Tube a few months ago and since then have seen a splurge of new videos showing lots more examples, explanations and uses of both the traditional load cell and digital variations. Here we look at 5 new videos shooting up the rankings.

Load Cell Video 1 - Compression Load Cell Force Calibration Using a Morehouse Universal Calibrating Machine. This first video shows how a specific manufacturer’s traditional load cell model can be calibrated. It is interesting to note that using the newer digital load cell technology, such as that provided by Eilersen does not require such regular calibration on-site.

Load Cell Video 2 - Load Cell with Analog o/p and Digital o/p. This video shows an interesting take on the digital load cell, how to read both a digital and analogue reading at the same time from a single load cell. While the use of this is questionable it is interesting none the less.

Load Cell Video 3 - Low Level Indicator with miniature load cell. This video shows how you can use a load cell to activate a device based on a pre-determined weight.

Load Cell Video 4 - Perspex Bar Load Cell - In this video it is shown how you can create a standard strain gauge load cell out of relatively few components. While obviously not fit for many of today’s industrial purposes it does provide an insight into understanding how load cells were first developed before the better and more efficient digital varieties were created.

Load Cell Video 5 - iLoad TR 1 Kg Digital USB Load Cell - here we see a demo of a digital load cell hooked up via a standard USB cable to show measurements with accuracy to 1mg.
