What is load cell? What is FIT?

Question

Accepted Answer

A load cell is a transducer that converts force into an electrical signal. FIT stands for Failure In Time and is a measure of reliability.

Load cells are used in weighing systems to measure the weight of an object.
They are commonly used in industrial applications such as manufacturing and transportation.
FIT is a measure of how often a component is expected to fail over a certain period of time.
It is often used in the electronics industry to measure the reliability of components.
A component with a FIT rating of 1,000 would be expected to fail once every 1,000,000 hours of operation.
