  We have a complete product line, including one of the most well-known products, weighing transducer. Although weighing transducers are the most critical part of an electronic weighing system, they are also the most vulnerable to damage and will malfunction from time to time. We describe the symptoms that may indicate a failure of the weighing transducer that should be paid attention to, and provide a method to troubleshoot the failure of the weighing transducer.

  Common causes of bending beam load cell failure include:

  Broken cable

  Loose wire fittings

  Overloading the scale capacity—causes shock and deformation of the load cell

  Lightning strike or power surge

  Chemical substances or moisture enter

  Mishandled

  Symptoms of load cell failure may include:

  Zero drift

  Cannot calibrate and reset the scale

  Unreliable reading

  Unregistered weights

  After eliminating the common causes of the failure of the bending beam load cell, resistance measurement is usually used to troubleshoot the failure of the load cell. Although this will reveal some information, it should be performed with one of the tests listed below to obtain a complete summary of the problem and perform economical load cell repair.

  Tests to troubleshoot the bending beam load cell include:

  Millivolt returns

  Resistance reading

  Leak test

  Delta weighing/signal test

  Tap test

  Unknown color code

  Unknown capacity
