Load Cell and Integration | How Load Cells Work with Other Devices

When people search “load cell and”, they are typically looking for how load cells connect with electronics, controllers, and measurement systems. A load cell on its own is just a force transducer — it needs companion devices to display, transmit, or process the signal.

At Sensors and Gauges, we provide end-to-end solutions: load cells, indicators, signal conditioners, and integration with automation systems.

Load Cell and Arduino

  • Ideal for DIY weighing projects or prototyping

  • Requires an amplifier module (like HX711)

  • Converts the load cell’s small millivolt signal into readable digital values

👉 Learn: Load Cell and HX711 Explained


Load Cell and PLC

  • Used in industrial automation

  • Load cell connects via amplifier/transmitter (4–20mA or 0–10V output)

  • PLC handles process control, batching, and monitoring

Load Cell and Display / Indicator

  • The most common pairing

  • Load cell connects to a digital indicator to show weight in kg, lb, or N

  • Useful for scales, tanks, silos, or force testing machines

👉 See: Load Cell and Indicator Guide


Load Cell and Amplifier

  • Essential for signal conditioning

  • Boosts low millivolt signal from strain gauges

  • Outputs industry-standard formats (4–20mA, RS485, CANbus, etc.)


Load Cell and Hydraulic Systems

  • Hybrid setups combine hydraulic actuators with electronic load monitoring

  • Common in cranes, presses, and lifting equipment

  • Offers both safety monitoring and precision measurement

Why Pair Load Cells with Other Devices?

Because a raw load cell signal is just a tiny voltage change — unusable without amplification or conversion. Integration enables:

  • ✅ Digital readout of weight/force

  • ✅ Process automation

  • ✅ Remote data logging

  • ✅ IoT-enabled monitoring

💡 Smart Tip: A load cell by itself is like a microphone with no speaker — it detects signals, but you need the right partner device to make that signal useful.
