Washer Load Cell – Compact Force Measurement in Bolted Connections
Smart Sensor for Structural and Industrial Applications
A washer load cell is a compact force sensor designed in the shape of a washer, allowing it to be installed directly into a bolted connection or clamping system. By measuring compressive forces around the bolt or stud, washer load cells provide precise and real-time monitoring of load distribution, tension, and clamping forces.
At Sensors and Gauges, we supply washer load cells in Australia with ISO calibration and expert support to ensure accurate performance across industrial and research applications.
Why Choose a Washer Load Cell?
Washer load cells are unique because they measure force without altering structural design, fitting seamlessly into assemblies.
Key Benefits:
Compact Design – Fits neatly under nuts, bolts, or fasteners.
High Accuracy – Delivers precise force measurement even under dynamic loading.
Durable Materials – Stainless steel or alloy steel for long life.
Easy Integration – Works with amplifiers, meters, and digital readouts.
Versatile Capacity Range – From small research applications to heavy structural monitoring.
Washer load cells are essential in industries where accurate bolted joint force monitoring is required:
