Of course many race teams weigh their race cars by using (4) wheel pads supplied by either Longacre or Intercomp and figure out their weight percentages. In some forms of racing, teams will use items called load sticks which are basically, s-beam load cells with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1800scales.com\/Digital-Weight-Meters.html\">digital weight readout<\/a>, which can help with spring rates.\u00a0 And, of course many short track teams own spring smasher type machines which basically use either a s-beam load cell or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1800scales.com\/single_end_beam_loadcells.html\">shear beam load cell<\/a> and compresses, measures load and unloads a spring.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1800scales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Load-Cells-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"load cells kit\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The point of this <em>Unique Places Where You See a Load Cell in Action<\/em> entry to to simply bring this to your attention.
