Conveyor Load Cell – Accurate Industrial Weight & Force Measurement

Discover Conveyor Load Cells for precise weight measurement on conveyors. Sensors and Gauges supply digital indicators, transmitters, and complete load cell solutions for industrial automation.

A Conveyor Load Cell is a specialized sensor designed to measure the weight of materials moving along conveyor systems. By converting mechanical force into electrical signals, these load cells provide accurate, real-time weight data for process control, batching, and inventory management. At Sensors and Gauges, we offer a wide range of conveyor load cells, digital readouts, and integration solutions to ensure precise industrial operations. This guide explores their features, benefits, applications, and pricing to help you select the right system for your needs.


What is a Conveyor Load Cell?

A Conveyor Load Cell is a sensor installed on conveyor structures to measure the weight of materials being transported. These devices are often used in manufacturing, mining, food processing, logistics, and bulk material handling. By connecting the load cell to a digital readout or control system, operators can monitor material flow, automate batching processes, and ensure accurate inventory tracking.


Key Features of Conveyor Load Cells

  • High-accuracy force measurement for consistent readings

  • Built-in signal processing for minimal noise interference

  • Designed for harsh industrial environments with durable housings

  • Multiple capacity ranges, from light materials to heavy bulk loads

  • Easy integration with PLCs, HMIs, and data logging systems

  • Options for analog, digital, or wireless output

  • IP-rated enclosures for dust, moisture, and outdoor conditions


Conveyor Load Cell Price – What to Expect

The cost of a conveyor load cell depends on:

  • Capacity & Size – Higher capacities and larger load-bearing designs increase cost

  • Technology – Analog vs. digital, wired vs. wireless

  • Environmental Protection – IP65/IP67-rated enclosures for harsh or outdoor conditions

  • Additional Features – Multi-channel connectivity, data logging, or integration kits

Average Price Range (Australia):

  • Light-Duty Conveyor Load Cells: $400 – $900 AUD

  • Industrial Conveyor Load Cells: $1,000 – $3,000 AUD

  • High-Capacity or Custom Conveyor Systems: $3,000 – $6,000+ AUD
