Strength. Accuracy. Versatility.

When it comes to applications requiring both tension and compression measurements, the S Load Cell is one of the most reliable and widely used solutions. Named for its “S” shaped design, this versatile sensor delivers high accuracy, robust performance, and easy integration across a wide range of weighing systems.

At Sensors and Gauges, we supply S load cells in Australia, engineered for industrial, commercial, and research applications where precision is non-negotiable.

What is an S Load Cell?

An S load cell is a type of strain gauge sensor that measures force in both tension and compression. The “S” shape provides structural strength while allowing load application through tapped holes at each end, making it ideal for suspended and hanging applications.

Key advantages include:

• Compact design with high strength-to-size ratio

• Dual functionality – tension & compression measurement

• Excellent linearity and accuracy

• Easy to install in mechanical setups

Benefits of S Load Cells

Choosing an S load cell provides multiple benefits for industrial weighing:

• High Accuracy – Suitable for trade-approved systems.

• Rugged Build – Handles dynamic and static forces reliably.

• Wide Capacity Range – From small bench setups to heavy crane applications.

• Flexibility – Works across hanging, suspended, and compression weighing.

• Cost-Effective – A proven solution with long service life.

💡 Smart Tip: “For crane scales, suspended hoppers, and tension-based systems, the S load cell is the most practical and durable option.”

Applications of S Load Cells

S load cells are widely used in industries that demand reliable force measurement:
