Load Cells

Single-Ended Beam
Load Cell specifically designed for low profile scales and process applications, single-ended beam load cells are available in capacities ranging from 1,000 lbs up to 20,000 lbs. These load cells are constructed of tool steel as well as stainless steel. When hermetically sealed, a single ended shear beam load cell is ideal for washdown applications.

Double-Ended Beam
A double-ended shear beam load cell is secured at both ends and the load is applied to the center of the load cell. These load cells are most commonly used in vehicle weighing applications and tank and hopper applications. Like the single ended shear beam load cell, double ended shear beam load cells are also constructed of tool steel or stainless steel.

S-Beam
Named for their s-type shape, S beam load cells are most often found in mechanical-to-electronic scale conversion applications, suspended hoppers or tanks and general purpose weighing applications. These load cells are available in capacities ranging from 25 lbs through 20,000 lbs.

Single Point  
These load cells are most commonly found in light capacity bench scale applications and are available in capacities ranging from 1 kg through 1,000 kg. Single point load cells are most commonly made of aluminum. Several models are available with the additional protection of stainless steel.

Canister
Compression canister load cells are ideal for high capacity weighing. These load cells are available in a variety of capacities and are typically used in vehicle weighing applications, and tank and hopper weighing applications. Because canister load cells are hermetically sealed, they provide excellent environmental protection in hazardous environments.

OIML
International Organization of Legal Metrology is a world-wide organization whose aims are to standardize regulations and meteorological controls applied by the Weights and Measures of its member states. OIML certified load cells can be used as a module in Type Approval Certificates (TACs) throughout Europe.

Sensors
Sensors provide a small package alternative for light capacity applications, including bench scales and tank and conveyor weighing. Typical capacities range from 1 lb to 300 lb, although stainless steel button-type sensors are available in capacities up to 8000 lb. Popular applications for this sensor are fastener testing and torque measurement.

Weigh Modules
We offer weigh modules with a protective epoxy paint finish or stainless steel construction. All modules are available with a choice of alloy steel load cells or stainless steel load cells. Hermetically sealed load cells are available for applications that will be used in harsh applications. Complete mounting kits are available with our weigh modules, simplifying the selection and installation processes.
