Rice Lake Load Cells – Premium Weighing Solutions for Industrial & Commercial Use

Explore Rice Lake load cells designed for accuracy, durability, and performance in weighing systems. Sensors and Gauges provides load cells, sensors, gauges, and custom engineering solutions.

Rice Lake load cells are known worldwide for their superior accuracy, rugged durability, and consistent performance in weighing applications. From truck and floor scales to precision lab systems, Rice Lake load cells deliver reliable measurement that businesses trust. At Sensors and Gauges, we supply Rice Lake load cells along with a complete range of sensors, gauges, and custom engineering services, helping industries build robust, scalable weighing systems.


What are Rice Lake Load Cells?

A Rice Lake load cell is a precision force transducer that measures weight or force through strain gauge technology. When load is applied, it creates slight resistance changes in the sensing element. These changes are amplified and converted into accurate electrical signals, which can then be processed by weighing systems or data acquisition devices.

Rice Lake Weighing Systems has built a global reputation for manufacturing reliable load cells used in commercial, industrial, and custom applications.


Key Features of Rice Lake Load Cells

  • Exceptional Accuracy – Trusted in critical weighing environments.

  • Wide Capacity Range – From grams to hundreds of tons.

  • Rugged Design – Built for heavy-duty industrial applications.

  • Multiple Models – Shear beam, single-point, S-beam, compression, and more.

  • Global Compliance – Certified for trade and industrial standards.

  • Longevity – Designed for long service life under constant use.


Why Choose Rice Lake Load Cells?

  • Proven Reliability – A brand trusted by industries worldwide.

  • Heavy-Duty Options – Ideal for truck, rail, and industrial platform scales.

  • Versatility – Wide range of models for different applications.

  • Calibration Support – Supplied with certificates to meet compliance.

  • Integration Ready – Works with HX711 modules, DAQ systems, and PLCs.


Applications of Rice Lake Load Cells

Rice Lake load cells are widely used across industries:

  • Transportation & Logistics – Truck, rail, and shipping container scales.

  • Industrial Weighing – Floor, hopper, tank, and pallet scales.

  • Retail & Commercial – Checkout, point-of-sale, and bench scales.

  • Agriculture – Grain bin monitoring, livestock weighing, and feed systems.

  • Research & Laboratory – Precision force measurement and material testing.

  • Healthcare – Patient scales, rehabilitation equipment, and medical monitoring.


How Rice Lake Load Cells Work

  1. Force Applied – The load deforms the sensing element.

  2. Strain Gauge Reaction – Resistance changes occur proportional to force.

  3. Signal Conversion – The change is turned into an electrical signal.

  4. Amplification & Output – Signal is amplified (e.g., via HX711) and sent to controllers or displays.

This proven process ensures dependable performance for demanding applications.


Example: Rice Lake Load Cell in a Truck Scale

  • Multiple Rice Lake compression load cells are mounted beneath the truck platform.

  • Each load cell measures part of the weight.

  • Signals are combined and processed by the weighing system.

  • The total vehicle weight is displayed with high accuracy.

This setup demonstrates Rice Lake’s strength in large-scale, heavy-duty applications.


Benefits of Rice Lake Load Cells in Industry

  • Unmatched Accuracy – Trusted for legal-for-trade weighing.

  • Durability – Engineered for harsh environments and heavy loads.

  • Scalable – Suitable for single-point retail scales or multi-cell industrial setups.

  • Compliance Ready – Meets global weighing and safety standards.

  • Long-Term Investment – Reliable performance reduces downtime and maintenance.


Considerations & Limitations

  • Cost Factor – Premium quality comes with a higher price compared to entry-level brands.

  • Installation – Proper mounting and environmental protection are critical.

  • Calibration – Regular calibration ensures accuracy and compliance.


Why Rice Lake Load Cells Stand Out

Rice Lake load cells are chosen because they combine premium build quality, reliability, and compliance. From everyday retail scales to mission-critical truck weighing, they deliver accurate results businesses can depend on. When combined with Sensors and Gauges’ custom engineering solutions, they form complete, tailored systems for any industry.

Smart Tip: Use Rice Lake load cells for mission-critical weighing where compliance and durability cannot be compromised, and pair them with Sensors and Gauges’ expertise for custom system integration.
