Delivering Accuracy & Reliability Across Industries

A Load Sensor is a device designed to measure force, weight, or pressure and convert it into a measurable electrical signal. These sensors are the backbone of modern weighing systems, providing precision, durability, and consistency across diverse industries. At Sensors and Gauges, we offer a wide range of load sensors tailored to retail, industrial, transport, and agricultural applications.

What is a Load Sensor?

A load sensor works by detecting mechanical force — compression, tension, or shear — and transforming it into an electrical output. Most load sensors use strain gauge technology, where a small deformation in the sensor element causes a change in electrical resistance, which is then measured and calibrated as weight or force.

This makes load sensors highly reliable for:

• Weighing scales

• Industrial platforms and tanks

• Medical devices

• Vehicle weighing systems
