Compact Design. Superior Accuracy. Industry-Proven Performance.

When it comes to measuring large loads with precision, the Pancake Load Cell is a trusted solution across industries. Designed with a flat, low-profile shape, pancake load cells are ideal for applications requiring both tension and compression measurements without compromising on space or accuracy.

At Sensors and Gauges, we supply pancake load cells in Australia, offering you access to high-capacity sensors engineered for industrial and research-grade applications.

What is a Pancake Load Cell?

A pancake load cell (also known as a universal load cell) is a high-strength force sensor designed to measure tension, compression, or both. Its cylindrical, flat design ensures excellent structural integrity, high accuracy, and durability, making it suitable for heavy-duty and precision applications.
