Basic principle of operation
• The Hydraulic load cells function on the principle of a
force counterbalance.
• Weight imposed upon the load cell causes a change
in internal fluid pressure.
• To translate pressure into an analog signal
proportional to weight A wide variety of pressure
detective devices are explored.
• The most popular readout device is a precision

Construction
• One end of the fluid chamber is connected to the
diaphragm.
• The fluid chamber is filled with the fluid with out any
air bubbles.
