How Do Scales Work?

Scales are used in almost every facet of life, but how do they actually work? Almost all scales rely on load cells to physically measure how much an object weighs. When load is applied to a scale, the load cell bends slightly, causing the electrical current running through the load cell to change. This change is measured by a weight indicator and turned into a digital weight value.
Weight can then be used in complex processes such as checkweighing, automated batching applications or logistics transfer. No matter their function, all scales work basically the same way. Find the right scale system for you at www.ricelake.com!
