In very basic terms, a load cell sensor converts the force into a measurable electrical output, and the different load cell sensors depend on the type of output signal, or by the way they detect weight. Load cell sensors are able to measure the force required to pull something (tension) and the force required to push something (compression). The workings of a load cell sensor does depend on the load cell, and the most common options include hydraulic, pneumatic, and strain gauge.
As you can see from the range available here at Applied Measurement, there are plenty of load cell sensors to choose from, however, the right one does depend on your application or need. Compression load cell sensors offer long term stability and are the best option if mounting space is restricted. Tension and Compression load cells are best for loads that go from tension to compression and the other way around. S-Beam load cells are ideal for things like truck scales and provide outputs if it is under tension or compression. Bending Beam load cells can be used across a range of applications, and are of low profile construction for more restricted areas.
