Tension load cells

S-type load cells are precise weighing sensors for measuring tensile forces and suspended loads. Due to their characteristic S-shaped design, they are also referred to as S-type load cells or S-beam load cells. Certain versions are also suitable for measuring compressive forces and can be used as tension-compression load cells.

The force is detected via strain gauges (SG) and converted into an electrical measurement signal. This allows tension and tension-compression load cells to provide precise force and weight measurement.

Typical areas of application include hanging scales, crane scales, lifting equipment, dosing and filling systems, process and conveyor technology as well as applications in agriculture, mechanical engineering, and test stands. Depending on the model, various rated capacities, accuracy classes, and designs are available.
