Load Measurement Trainer
Product Code : EL-MAILE-10808
Load Measurement Trainer (code EL-MAILE-10808) is a strain gauge load cell set used to show how a load applied in compression is measured and read out directly in kilograms. The 1 kg compression load cell has 350 ohm ±2% strain gauges bonded on a steel member, and its indicator combines a 10 V DC excitation supply, signal conditioner, amplifier and 3½ digit converter with a 3.5 digit LED display reading ±19.99.

What Is the Load Measurement Trainer Used For?
When a steel member is loaded it deforms very slightly, and strain gauges bonded to it change resistance in proportion to that strain; wired as a bridge, they give a small voltage that rises with the applied load. In the laboratory, students balance the bridge from the front panel, zero the display, then place the weights on the loading arrangement one at a time and note the indicator reading in kg. Plotting the readings against the known weights shows the load cell's linearity, and the test points brought out on the schematic allow them to follow the signal through the conditioner, amplifier and converter.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of trainers required.
- Power supply — the version for 230 V, 50 Hz or for 230 V, 60 Hz, single phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity is the load cell?
The load cell is a compression type for 1 kg loading, with an overload capacity of 125%, and the indicator is calibrated with a 1.00 kg load.
How does the load cell sense the load?
Strain gauges of 350 ohms ±2% resistance are bonded on a steel member. The load strains the member, changing the gauge resistance, and the conditioned signal is shown as a load in kg.
What accuracy and linearity are given?
The load cell has an accuracy of 1% and a linearity of 1%, and the digital indicator is also specified with an accuracy of 1%.
What does the indicator display?
A 3.5 digit seven segment LED display with a 200 mV full-scale deflection reads up to ±19.99, showing the applied load in kg.
Can the bridge be balanced before loading?
Yes. Strain gauge bridge balancing and zero adjustment are both made from the front panel through potentiometers, so the display can be set to zero with no load applied.
