ESMLS01 Alloy steel material spoke type load cell with 5-15vdc

The ESMLS01 spoked weighing sensor is a high-precision weighing component designed based on the strain principle. It is named for its unique structure resembling wheel spokes, with a core composed of a hub, rim, and symmetrically distributed spokes. Made of high-strength alloy steel or stainless steel, it combines durability with stability. Its working principle involves the spokes undergoing slight elastic deformation under external force, causing the strain gauges attached to the spokes to change resistance. This change is converted by a Wheatstone bridge into an electrical signal proportional to the load, and then amplified and processed to output precise weight data.

This sensor has significant advantages, with outstanding resistance to eccentric load and lateral force, and an eccentric load error as low as 0.02% F.S., effectively compensating for installation deviations and lateral impact effects. It covers a range of 2kg–500t, with a sensitivity of up to 2mV/V, capable of detecting minute weight changes. Additionally, it features a compact structure, strong protection, a wide temperature adaptability (-40℃ to 80℃), making it suitable for various harsh industrial environments. It is widely used in industrial weighing, hopper monitoring, crane overload protection, bridge stress detection, and other fields, serving as a core component of modern industrial automated weighing systems.

    Working Principle

    The ESMLS01 load sensor operates based on the principle that the resistance of a strain gauge changes when it deforms. It mainly consists of four parts: the elastic element, the strain gauge, the measurement circuit, and the transmission cable. When the elastic body undergoes elastic deformation under external force, the strain gauge attached to its surface also deforms accordingly, causing its resistance to change. This resistance change is then converted into an electrical signal through a bridge circuit.

      Spoke-type sensors primarily use shear stress for measurement:
      1. Force deformation: When a vertical load acts on the central hub, the force is transmitted through the spokes to the fixed outer ring.
      2. Shear effect: The spokes undergo slight shear deformation (rather than simple tension or compression).
      3. Signal conversion: Strain gauges attached to the spokes detect this shear deformation, causing a change in resistance.
      4. Output: The bridge circuit converts the resistance change into a millivolt (mV) level voltage signal, which is proportional to the load..
