Weighing Sensor Selection Guide

Weighing Sensor Selection Guide

In the process of looking for load cells and partners, people may have some questions. To provide you with some certainty, as a person in the industry, I would like to share what I have seen and known, hoping to help you avoid detours.

1. Which domestic brand of load cells is good?
This question is as difficult to answer as "Which brand of mobile phone is the best". Our manufacturer often receives such inquiries. In fact, each brand has its own positioning and advantages. The domestic load cell market is indeed mixed. Some focus on the high - end market, with product accuracy reaching 0.02%; some focus on cost - effectiveness, suitable for occasions with low accuracy requirements; and some are traders, with uneven product quality. Our manufacturer knows best: there is no absolute good or bad, only what is suitable or not.

Three suggestions for procurement:
- First, clarify your core needs such as accuracy and range.
- Require the manufacturer to provide third - party inspection reports.
- Conduct on - site inspections of the production environment (good manufacturers welcome visits).

Remember, what is suitable for others may not be suitable for you. Just like one of our customers, who had been using imported brands before, later found that our products could fully meet their needs, but the cost was reduced by 30%.

2. Domestic vs. Imported, how to choose?
We have been asked this question for more than ten years. To be honest, now domestic high - end products are no worse than imported brands. Last year, we helped a listed company replace a German brand, with comparable performance and a delivery period shortened by 2 months.

Key considerations:
- Whether the technical parameters meet the standards.
- Whether the cost - effectiveness is reasonable.
- Whether the after - sales service is timely.

There is a typical case: A certain food factory bought imported sensors at a high price, only to find that the working environment was very humid, and the imported sensors were not as durable as domestic waterproof ones. Therefore, suitability is the most important.

### 3. What kind of load cell is suitable?
As a manufacturer, we believe that a good cooperation should meet three dimensions:
1. **Product dimension**: Accuracy, stability, and environmental adaptability.
2. **Service dimension**: Technical support, delivery cycle, and after-sales service.
3. **Cooperation dimension**: Communication efficiency and problem response speed.

What we are most proud of is not how many products we sell, but how many practical problems we help customers solve. For example, last year, we customized an anti-impact force sensor for a logistics customer, reducing the failure rate from 15% to less than 1%.

**Suggestions for purchasers**:
- List the core indicators that must be met.
- Evaluate the supplier's continuous supply capacity.
- Examine the professionalism of the technical team.

Finally, I would like to say that after being in this industry for so many years, we have found that the best cooperation is mutual achievement. Instead of spending time looking for the "best" one, it's better to find the one that understands your needs best. Our manufacturer is also more willing to cooperate with customers with clear needs in the long term, so that we can provide more accurate solutions.
