Pancake Load Cell – Compact High-Precision Force Measurement Solutions
Discover Pancake Load Cells for accurate force and weight measurement in industrial, testing, and automation applications. Sensors and Gauges offers premium pancake load cells, sensors, gauges, and custom-engineered solutions.
A Pancake Load Cell is a compact, low-profile force transducer designed to measure axial, radial, and side forces with high precision. Its flat, disc-shaped design allows it to fit in tight spaces while delivering accurate and reliable force measurement. At Sensors and Gauges, we provide Pancake Load Cells alongside a complete range of sensors, gauges, and custom-engineered solutions — making us your one-stop solution for compact precision measurement systems.
What is a Pancake Load Cell?
A Pancake Load Cell is a disc-shaped load cell that measures force by detecting strain in the transducer body. Its flat design allows for space-efficient installations in testing machines, automation equipment, and industrial applications where axial or side loading is required.
Key Features:
Compact, Low-Profile Design – Ideal for tight-space installations.
High Accuracy & Repeatability – Provides reliable measurements for precision applications.
Durable Construction – Built to withstand industrial and laboratory environments.
Multi-Directional Force Measurement – Can measure axial, radial, and side forces depending on installation.
Easy Integration – Compatible with digital indicators, PLCs, and data acquisition systems.
