Tensile Load Cell – Accurate Tension Measurement for Industrial & Research Applications

Precision Sensors for Pulling Force Measurement

A tensile load cell is engineered to measure tension or pulling forces, ensuring precise data in industries where monitoring loads is critical. Unlike compression load cells that measure pushing force, tensile load cells are ideal for cranes, hoists, rigging systems, structural testing, and R&D projects.

At Sensors and Gauges, we provide a wide range of tensile load cells across Australia — from compact units for lab experiments to heavy-duty sensors for industrial lifting and safety monitoring.


Why Choose a Tensile Load Cell?

Tensile load cells are designed with versatility and accuracy in mind.

Key Benefits:

  • High Accuracy – Reliable tension measurement for critical applications.

  • Rugged Build – Stainless steel construction for demanding environments.

  • Versatile Design – Available in S-type, rod-end, or pin-style formats.

  • Easy Integration – Works with digital indicators, controllers, and data acquisition systems.

  • Safety Assurance – Helps prevent overload and structural failure.
