Ingress Protection (IP) is the degree of protection against the intrusion of dust and water. The degree of protection can be found on the datasheet of every load cell model. All Zemic Europe models are completely protected against dust ingress and are therefore classified as IP6X.

Loadcell Deflection

The ability to weigh with a load cell depends primarily on its ability to deflect / bend repeatably when load is applied or removed.

ZEMIC is one of the leading manufacturers of strain gauges. With over 50 years of experience in the development and production of strain gauges, ZEMIC produces a high quality and wide variation of strain gauges. With professional and reliable technology ZEMIC is able to produce an annual output of over 50 million stable, reliable and first-class quality strain gauges which are divided in more than a dozen series and over a thousand different combinations. There are several characteristics which can be specified for every strain gauge which make these combinations. A few of these characteristics will be shown and explained in the blog.
