We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Strain Gauge Load Cells",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Junction box enables ATEX-approved weighing from
HBM UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "A new junction box enables up to eight analogue strain gauge load cells to be easily connected for use in potentially explosive atmospheres by complying with the latest ATEX regulations".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Box adds intelligence to load cell systems from
Mettler Toledo: "With Mettler Toledo's RAAD Box conventional strain gauge load cell systems can be transformed into advanced sensor networks".
In November 2004, we covered the news from HBM UK
concerning its Strain gauge load cells
- take a look at Boxes interconnect up to eight strain gauges
which says: "HBM has introduced both standard and stainless steel versions of its junction boxes for interconnecting up to eight strain gauge load cells".
Take a look also at the news release from HBM UK, Junction box simplifies multiple load cell setup,
as well as Signal conditioner excites and amplifies from Nexen Group,
and Profibus transmitter tackles weighty tasks from Sartorius UK.
