pressure load cells

Compression load cells are specialized force sensors designed for the precise measurement of compression or compression forces. Integrated strain gauges mounted on a sturdy metal body reliably convert mechanical deformations into electrical signals. These signals are proportional to the applied load and enable precise weight measurement – even at very high forces.

Thanks to their compact yet extremely robust design – usually cylindrical or disc-shaped – compression load cells are ideally suited for use in demanding industrial environments. They are characterized by high repeatability, long service life, and resistance to extreme loads.

Typical applications include industrial weighing systems such as silo scales, tank scales, and heavy-duty platforms, as well as vehicle and rail scales, as well as applications in the process industry for controlling material flows. They are also used for force measurement in test benches and presses.

Wherever large loads need to be measured precisely and continuously – especially in automated processes – compression load cells offer a reliable and durable solution.
