How do digital scales work?
In: Technology
The digital part is just the display mechanism. From a functional standpoint, it isn’t really a part of the scale at all.
The digital scale ultimately works the same way as other scales, in that it has a spring in it, and by measuring how far the spring is compressed, it can tell how much force is being applied to the spring. On a purely physical scale, the spring is hooked up directly to a set of levers that move the display lever. But in a digital scale, the level of compression gets sent to a set of circuits that determine what numbers to display.
