At Sensors and Gauges, we supply a wide selection of small load cells for industries ranging from medical technology to industrial automation, ensuring you get the right fit for your weighing system.
What is a Small Load Cell?
A small load cell (often called a miniature load cell) is a compact sensor engineered to measure force or weight in limited spaces. Despite their reduced size, they provide the same high performance as larger load cells, making them ideal for portable, medical, laboratory, and robotics applications.
Like all load cells, small load cells use strain gauge technology to convert applied force into an electrical signal. This signal is then processed and displayed as a weight or force reading.
The difference? Small load cells are specifically designed to:
Operate in tight or restricted spaces
Deliver high accuracy with minimal size
Handle lighter forces or specialized applications
