Load Cells are often used as a reliable solution in crane weighing applications. In this illustration, a FUTEK Pancake Load Cell is used to measure the weight of a load. Such tests can be critical for engineers or technicians that need to control the test environment (in case a load is too heavy, for safety purpose, or testing). Of course this is just one example of how Load Cells can be used in crane weighing applications. The Pancake Load Cell is not the only product that can be used in such applications but it is a great selection considering the high capacity range, robust design, and installation options offered in the series. Other product selections include high capacity versions of Threaded Rod Load Cells and Tension/Compression Load Cells. An assortment of instruments ranging from hand held to digital USB solutions are available to help build an intelligent feedback platform.
