  • 1. What is a load cell and how does it work?

    >

    A load cell is a transducer that converts force or weight into an electrical signal. It works by deforming under load, which changes its electrical resistance, producing a measurable output.

  • 2. How long is the load cell warranty period?

    >

    The warranty period for Microtess load cells is typically 1 years from the date of shipment. For more details, contact Microtess directly.

  • 3. What certifications can your company provide for load cells?

    >

    Microtess load cells are certified to meet the highest international standards, including OIML R60 for global legal-for-trade applications, NTEP for U.S. commercial use, CE for EU safety and environmental compliance, RoHS for hazardous substance restrictions, and CPA for commercial applications in China. These certifications ensure our products’ quality, reliability, and environmental responsibility.

  • 4. How long is the lead time?

    >

    The lead time for Microtess load cells typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the specific product and order requirements. For more precise lead times and to discuss your specific needs, please contact our customer service team.

  • 7. What are common load cell applications?

    >

    Load cells are used in a variety of applications, including industrial weighing systems, truck scales, hopper and tank weighing, packaging machines, force measurement devices, medical equipment, and dynamic weighing systems like conveyors and checkweighers.

  • 8. What are the environmental considerations for load cells?

    >

    Environmental factors like temperature, humidity, vibration, and exposure to chemicals or dust can impact load cell performance. To ensure durability and accuracy in harsh conditions, choose load cells with appropriate sealing (e.g., IP68) and materials (e.g., stainless steel).

    Microtess load cells are ideal for such environments. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel and featuring advanced IP68 sealing, they provide reliable performance and longevity even in demanding conditions. Contact Microtess to find the perfect load cell for your needs.

  • 9. What is the typical accuracy of a load cell?

    >

    Load cell accuracy is typically expressed as a percentage of full-scale output, with high-precision load cells offering accuracies up to 0.02% or better. Accuracy levels such as OIML R60 C3, C5 and C6 indicate compliance with specific international standards.

    Microtess load cells are designed to meet the highest accuracy standards, with some models achieving up to OIML R60 C6.

  • 10. How do I choose the right load cell for my application?

    >

    Consider factors such as the type of force to be measured (tension, compression, or both), the load range, the required accuracy, the environmental conditions, and the physical constraints of the application.
