- What Are Load Cell Amplifiers And The Different Types Of Load Cells And Their Uses
By: Diana Johnson | - Before we look at what an amplifier is let's see what exactly a load cell is. A load cell is an electronic device that converts force into an electrical signal which can then be measured. In simplistic terms it is a device that allows us to weigh items and loads and so measuring the force gives us the weight. So where does the amplifier come into it? The electrical output through a cell is usually a few millivolts which isn't that much and requires the output to be put through an amplifier befor ...

- What Makes A Good Gantry Crane
By: Matt Timme | - Gantry cranes, also known as overhead bridge cranes, are similar to a combination between a hoist and a trolley.
