Aircraft Load Cell
Load Cell - A component in an electronic weighing system that is placed between the jack and the jack pad on the aircraft. The load cell contains strain gauges whose resistance changes with the weight on the cell.
Electronic load cells are used when the aircraft is weighed by raising it on jacks. The cells are placed between the jack and the jack pad on the aircraft, and the aircraft is raised on the jacks until the wheels or skids are off the floor and the aircraft is in a level flight attitude. The weight measured by each load cell is indicated on the control panel.
