In life we use many products but often we know them only as far as the experience of using them. But when it comes to industrial products it pays to know them in greater depth. It will help you to choose them better and to use them better and to maintain them better.
Here I am going to inform you of the key electronic component that enables a digital floor scale to measure the weight. This component is called a strain gauge. And the quality of the strain gauge used goes a long way towards determining the accuracy, reliability and durability of the digital floor scale.
A strain gauge is essentially a long metal piece that is folded and fit into a small area. When a load is placed on it distorts in proportion to the amount of load placed on it. This distortion can be measured very accurately by measuring the change in resistance of the long metal piece. Once that is known the amount of load can be calculated and the weight of the object known.
It is an elegant lightweight device that does the job of large mechanical components that preceded it. And if you want to ascertain the quality of a floor scale a great place to start is to know the quality of the strain gauge used.
