High Capacity Load Cells, up to 1200tf

In this guide, we cover the force measurement ecosystem, from understanding the basics of load cells to supporting and accessorising with adequate cabling, displays, and support electronics, such as transmitters and summing boxes, to support complex weighing system integrations.

Canister load cells, also known as low profile, pancake load cells or universal load cells, are compression force sensors designed for accurate weight and force measurement. They use internal strain gauges to detect shape changes caused by compressive forces. Understanding Canister Load Cells The design of canister load cells is characterised by its cylindrical shape, resembling storage canisters. This low-profile design allows for high precision in measurement while occupying minimal space. Typically, these load cells utilise either multiple shear struts for higher capacities or bending beams
