Hey everyone,
I’ve been working with different types of <strong data-start=”373″ data-end=”387″>load cells (strain gauge, S-type, and compression types), and I’ve run into some common issues that I think many of us might have experienced. I’d like to open a discussion on <strong data-start=”553″ data-end=”602″>troubleshooting techniques and best practices for handling these problems.
Here are a few typical issues I’ve noticed:
-
⚙️ <strong data-start=”687″ data-end=”724″>Signal drift or unstable readings – often due to temperature changes or poor wiring.
-
🔌 <strong data-start=”784″ data-end=”815″>No output or erratic output – possibly caused by faulty excitation voltage or damaged strain gauges.
-
⚡ <strong data-start=”896″ data-end=”918″>Calibration errors – load cells not returning to zero after unloading.
-
🧾 <strong data-start=”979″ data-end=”1006″>Mechanical misalignment – improper mounting leading to inaccurate readings.
-
🌡️ <strong data-start=”1068″ data-end=”1103″>Temperature compensation issues – especially when used in outdoor or industrial environments.
<strong data-start=”1169″ data-end=”1201″>Questions for the community:
<ul data-start=”1204″ data-end=”1425″>
How do you usually identify whether the problem is electrical, mechanical, or environmental?
What are your go-to methods for quick field calibration?
Any tips on preventing overload damage or moisture ingress?
Looking forward to hearing your insights, experiences, and maybe some real-world troubleshooting stories.
