Ring Load Cell – Compact & High-Capacity Force Measurement
Precision Sensor for Axial Load Monitoring
A ring load cell is a specialized force sensor with a circular or donut-shaped design, allowing it to measure axial compressive forces in applications where loads must pass directly through the sensor. Thanks to their compact structure and robust build, ring load cells are widely used in press-fit assembly machines, structural monitoring, and high-capacity test equipment.
At Sensors and Gauges, we supply ring load cells in Australia, providing standard and custom-engineered solutions that combine accuracy, durability, and seamless integration.
Why Choose a Ring Load Cell?
Unlike standard beam or S-type load cells, ring load cells are engineered for direct force transmission through their center bore.
Key Benefits:
Space-Saving Design – Compact ring shape fits easily into mechanical setups.
High Capacity Options – Suitable for heavy industrial and structural forces.
Versatile Applications – Works in presses, structural tests, and bolted assemblies.
Durable Build – Alloy steel or stainless steel for long-term reliability.
Custom Configurations – Bore sizes and load capacities tailored to OEM needs.
Ring load cells are the go-to solution in applications where axial forces must pass directly through the sensor:
Press Machines – Measuring pressing forces in industrial and lab environments.
Material Testing – Monitoring compression and destructive testing.
Bolt Force Monitoring – Installed in fastening systems to measure preload.
Structural Engineering – Force monitoring in bridges, beams, and columns.
Aerospace & Automotive – High-precision load monitoring in assemblies.
Research & Development – Compact sensors for experimental setups.
