Through Hole Load Cell – Reliable Force Measurement for Bolts, Presses & Clamping

Compact Design with Precision Engineering

A through hole load cell (also known as a donut load cell or washer load cell) is designed with a central hole that allows bolts, shafts, or cables to pass through while measuring compressive or tensile forces. This unique design makes it the ideal solution for monitoring bolt loading, clamping forces, and press operations.

At Sensors and Gauges, we provide high-quality through hole load cells for demanding applications — ensuring accuracy, durability, and seamless integration with your systems.


Key Features of Through Hole Load Cells

  • Donut-Shaped Design – Central hole for bolts, tie rods, or shafts.

  • High Accuracy – Ensures precise monitoring of preload and compression forces.

  • Wide Capacity Range – From a few kilograms to several tons.

  • Durable Construction – Stainless steel or alloy steel for industrial use.

  • Compact & Versatile – Ideal for tight spaces where other load cells won’t fit.
