S Beam Load Cell – Precision Tension & Compression Force Measurement

Reliable Force Measurement in a Compact Design

An S Beam Load Cell, also known as an S-Type Load Cell, is one of the most versatile force sensors used in industrial weighing and testing applications. Named for its distinctive “S” shape, this load cell is designed to measure both tension and compression forces with high accuracy. Whether you’re building a crane scale, testing material strength, or monitoring loads in industrial systems, the S Beam Load Cell offers reliability and performance in a compact, easy-to-install design.

At Sensors and Gauges, we supply a wide selection of S-Type Load Cells that deliver precision, durability, and peace of mind.


What is an S Beam Load Cell?

An S Beam Load Cell works on strain gauge technology. When a force is applied, the cell slightly deforms, and this deformation is converted into an electrical signal that correlates with the applied load. Its symmetrical design allows the measurement of both tensile (pulling) and compressive (pushing) forces.

Key Features:

  • Measures both tension and compression

  • Compact and symmetrical design

  • High linearity and repeatability

  • Easy integration into weighing systems

  • Wide capacity range – from kilograms to tonnes
