① Creep Recovery The change in no--load output occurring with time after removal of A load which had been applied for a specific period of time. Usually measured over a specific time period immediately following removal of rated load and expressed as a percent of rated output over a specific period of time. ② Deflection The change of length along the primary axis of the load cell between no--load and rated load conditions. ③ Drift A random change in output under constant load conditions.

Load cell is based on strain gauges and the principle of Wheatstone bridge.A load cell is a sensor that converts force or weight into a measurable electrical output, the most common output signal is mV/V.

The main application of strain gauges is the manufacture of force and pressure transducers, particularly load cells. A load cell is a type of transducer that measures the mechanical load on an object by converting it to readable electronic signals. They are used in various industries such as automation, process control, biomechanics, equipment monitoring, building integrity analysis, bulk material weighing, testing, and quality control.
