Load Cell Manufacturer

Load cell manufacturers create products that measure the force upon objects ranging from large vehicles to small widgets. New technologies make these sensors more affordable and practical than earlier designs.

Hydraulic versions are frequently used for measuring the force of very large objects. In this type, manufacturers rely on the changing pressure of hydraulic fluid to get an accurate reading. While these load cells are excellent for measuring larger objects, they are often too expensive and bulky for smaller applications.

Load Cell Manufacturers Offer Practical Designs

Tension load cells are best used in smaller spaces where an object can compress and decompress. Many designs rely on converting the load into an electric signal for easy and accurate measurements. Since load cell manufacturers have moved into digital designs, the practicality of tension load cells has increased.

Manufacturers have coupled tension designs with both analog and digital reading methods. Many load cells can be fitted with tension-measuring sensors to add to their versatility. Additionally, expensive reading equipment is often unnecessary since new designs can work with a USB interface. The wireless capabilities of USB connections allow engineers to secure a load cell in tight or remote locations, without worrying about wires.

Loadstar Sensors, Inc. is a manufacturer that offers designs ranging from 10 to 10,000-pound weight limits. We offer load cells in both digital and analog setups that can be easily converted to a tension-measuring design.
