How do load cells work?

A load cell is a transducer which converts force into measurable electrical output. In other words, a load cell measures the pressure an item puts on the load cell and outputs the weight of the item.

What are the different types of load cells?

The different types of load cells are: Hydraulic Load Cells Pneumatic Load Cells Strain-Gauge Load Cells Piezoresistive Load Cells Inductive and Reluctance Load Cells Magnetostrictive Load Cells

What is the difference between a load cell and strain gauge?

A load cell comprises multiple strain gauges together to convert the load into readable units. While a straing gauge is a single transducer used to convert mechanical deformation into electrical ouput.
