Loadstar's iLoad Analog Series of integrated load cells, based on new break-through technology, provide several unique benefits that make them usable across a wide range of applications. The iLoad Analog load cell has signal conditioning electronics built into the sensor itself, and does not need specialized external equipment for output measurement. The sensor itself is extremely small, thin, and rugged, and provides high reliability as well as space-saving benefits to manufacturers. It mounts easily on commonly available fixtures.
Loadstar's breakthrough comes from its use of Capacitive Technology for load sensing. Unlike conventional resistive load cells based on either strain gauges or piezo-resistive techniques, Loadstar's patented technology harnesses changes in Capacitance to measure loads quickly and accurately.
The sensor accepts a 5V DC input signal and outputs an analog 0.5V to 4.5V DC signal proportional to the applied load. The full scale output range is 4,000 mV -- twenty times that of traditional strain-gauge-based load cells. This signal can easily be measured using commonly available Digital Multi-meters.
