Its compact “S” shape enables dual measurement, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, laboratory, and commercial applications. At Sensors and Gauges, we provide S-Beam Load Cells alongside a full suite of sensors, gauges, and custom-engineered solutions, making us your one-stop solution for reliable force measurement systems.
What is an S-Beam Load Cell?
An S-Beam Load Cell is a small yet highly accurate transducer shaped like the letter “S.” This design allows it to measure both pulling (tension) and pushing (compression) forces, providing precise readings in applications where versatility and compact size are important.
Key Features:
Dual Measurement – Measures both tension and compression accurately.
High Precision – Offers excellent repeatability and minimal error.
Compact and Robust – Ideal for confined spaces and harsh industrial environments.
Easy Integration – Compatible with digital indicators, amplifiers, and DAQ systems.
Versatile Capacities – From a few kilograms to several tonnes.
