I am in the process of building a device to check coil springs, I have the mechanical part figured out, I am using a 5000 lb rated load cell, I need
to build or buy a digital readout for it.
The specs on the load cell are: 15V DC Max Input
1.5MV/V output @ 2000 Lbs
for testing you could use a simple multimeter in mv range and a supply of 15Vdc just connect excitation at 15V and read signal in mv that sense wire gives and make a simple calculation. at 2000 lbs you will get 1.5mv x 15V = 22.5mv
Maybe it is just me but the original thread goes back to 02 March 2004 which is over 6 years ago? The original poster had a single post that began this thread.
