Basically it is an electronic instrument, or a transducer that is used to change the electric force into an electric signal.

It transforms the force into an electrical output which can be measured. This application has really benefited a lot of industries and a lot of people too. It is interesting to see how quickly it converts a force into an electric output. There are two phases in which the strain gauge load cell functions and i.e. a load cell comprises of two or four gauges. The function depends upon the type it is being used for. A lot of other cells make use of this gauge like hydraulic,The functioning of strain gauge load cell Articles pneumatic, fiber optic, button and washer load cells. It functions mainly in weighing the apparatus. They are used in several places like electronic crane scales, to determine the center of gravity of an object, to measure the force, gauge the force, and weigh it onboard, to weight the rail car, structural monitoring and tension measurement. Before using any technology, you need to be sure of its uses and whether it is useful for you or not. There may be a lot of gauges that may be useful in several industries, but it may not be useful for you, may be some other measuring tool will be useful for you. So, you need to think and then decide which one is the most useful one for you.Ask your workers as to by using this tool will it be helpful for them or not. Will their work improve and will it bring some level of efficiency in their work. If they think by implementing strain gauge load cell, their work will get better then certainly you must use it, otherwise you must think again. Do some research on the internet and find out about those areas where it is widely used. See if by the application in those areas it has benefitted or not. If it has, then you must see at your end where by its application will it be useful. Ask those people who are involved in the similar industry whether it has brought about some kind of changes or not. Then when you get a fair idea, you will be more confident about it and you will know how your workers and how your industry will develop from it. Try it and see what changes it brings to you and your work. Get in touch with Gage Technique who is involved in the process of manufacturing, supplying, and installing the geotechnical and structural sensors for geotechnical and  structural monitoring.
