Multi-Axis Load Cell – Precision 3D Force Measurement Solutions
Discover Multi-Axis Load Cells for precise measurement of forces in multiple directions. Sensors and Gauges offers premium multi-axis load cells, sensors, gauges, and custom-engineered solutions for industrial and laboratory applications.
A Multi-Axis Load Cell measures forces along multiple axes, typically in two or three directions, providing complete 3D force and torque data. These advanced load cells are critical for applications requiring accurate measurement of complex force interactions, such as robotics, biomechanics, material testing, and industrial automation. At Sensors and Gauges, we provide Multi-Axis Load Cells along with a full range of sensors, gauges, and custom-engineered solutions — making us your one-stop destination for precision multi-directional force measurement.
What is a Multi-Axis Load Cell?
A Multi-Axis Load Cell, sometimes called a 3-axis or 6-axis load cell, is a transducer that can simultaneously measure forces and torques along multiple directions. Unlike standard single-axis load cells, multi-axis models capture more complete force profiles for applications where loads are applied in complex or dynamic directions.
Key Features:
Multi-Directional Measurement – Measures forces and torques along multiple axes.
High Accuracy & Repeatability – Provides precise readings for each axis independently.
Compact & Durable Design – Built for demanding industrial and laboratory environments.
Integration Ready – Compatible with data acquisition systems, digital displays, and automation platforms.
Advanced Signal Output – Provides digital or analog signals for real-time monitoring or analysis.
