Single-point load cells are by far the most commonly used load cells, with a wide range of possible applications. They are also referred to as platform load cells and are particularly suitable for use in scales and weighing equipment in which the weight determination is not predictably centric. Their installation and use is proven to be very simple: As can be seen from everyday bathroom scales, they are insensitive to side and corner loading. Typical areas of application are in the logistics sector, in machine building or in the packaging industry.
