tensile load cells

Tension load cells are high-precision sensors for measuring tensile forces and suspended loads. Thanks to their characteristic S-shaped design—which is why they are also known as S-type load cells—they are used in a wide variety of industrial applications. They operate on the principle of strain gauges: When a tensile force is applied, the load cell deforms slightly, causing the electrical resistance to change proportionally to the force. This allows for precise force and weight measurements.

Typical applications range from suspended weighing applications, lifting devices, and crane scales to process and materials handling technology, agriculture, forestry, and test benches in research and development. Due to their versatility, high accuracy, and reliability, tension load cells are an indispensable element wherever loads must be safely monitored and precisely measured.
