Creep is a critical specification of load cell. Based on the analysis of creep , a new compensation technique ,fuzzy creep compensation , is presented in this paper. It firstly introduces the fuzzy recognition to determine loading situations. Compared to the other compensation methods , fuzzy creep compensation can avoid the complicated modeling ofcreep performance , and it is also proved to be an efficient and simple approach to improve the accuracy of load cell by experiments.Key words : 　load cell , creep , fuzzy compensation
