High-quality load cells and sensors are important for applications in many industries. If absolute accuracy is critical for your design, choosing the right load cell is important. Here is a closer look at the critical factors required for accuracy and how load cells operate.
SMD Sensors offers standard load cell sensor designs, available in a wide range of capacities, from milligrams to thousands of pounds — with multiple sensor models offering built-in overload protection through deflection stops. SMD engineers also have the ability to produce custom load cell sensors, these load cell sensors can withstand high temperature, pressure, humidity, etc.

Autoclavable Sensors In Life Critical Applications
What does it mean when saying “Autoclavable Sensors”? Autoclavable devices require compatibility with high heat, moisture and often bleach or other high pH fluids. Medical devices that come in contact with human tissues or fluids are considered to be high-risk devices and they require sterilization so they must undergo autoclave processes after each procedure. Hygenic medical devices that require autoclave operations might include surgical staplers, surgical robots, handheld surgical devices, dental tools, medical examination procedures.
