Correct Answer - Option 2 : Load cell
Load cell:
- A load cell is a device that is used to convert a force into an electrical signal.
- Strain gauge load cells are the most common types of load cells.
- There are other types of load cells such as hydraulic (or hydrostatic), pneumatic load cells, piezoelectric load cells, capacitive load cells, piezoresistive load cells, etc.
Advantages of load cells:
- Rugged and compact construction
- No moving parts
- Can be used for static and dynamic loading
- Highly Accurate
- Wide range of measurement
- Can be used for static and dynamic loading
Disadvantages of load cells:
- Calibration is a tedious procedure
