In Line Load Cell – Compact Force Measurement for Precision Applications
Discover In Line Load Cells for accurate tension and compression measurement. Sensors and Gauges supplies premium in-line load cells for industrial, research, and custom applications.
An In Line Load Cell is a compact force sensor designed to measure both tension and compression accurately. Known for their versatility and space-saving design, in-line load cells are widely used in automation, robotics, materials testing, and industrial monitoring. At Sensors and Gauges, we offer a wide range of in-line load cells engineered for accuracy, durability, and seamless integration into your systems.
What is an In Line Load Cell?
An In Line Load Cell (sometimes called an “axial load cell”) is a cylindrical force transducer installed directly in line with the load path. It converts applied force into an electrical signal, allowing real-time measurement of tension and compression forces.
Key Features of In Line Load Cells:
Compact Cylindrical Design – Easy to integrate in tight spaces.
Bidirectional Measurement – Handles both tension and compression.
High Accuracy – Reliable force measurement for critical applications.
Durable Build – Stainless steel construction for long service life.
Multiple Capacities – Ranges from a few Newtons to hundreds of kilonewtons.
Benefits of In Line Load Cells
Precision Monitoring – Essential for labs, production, and quality testing.
Space-Saving Design – Ideal for robotic arms, automation, and small setups.
Versatile Use – From research to industrial testing.
Easy Integration – Compatible with data acquisition (DAQ) systems, indicators, and controllers.
Reliable Results – Stable output even under dynamic loads.
Applications of In Line Load Cells
