Calibrate these sensors to your desired capacity to measure tension, compression, or both. Also known as load cells, they measure and track the forces of your equipment by converting them into electrical signals.

Already calibrated, these sensors are ready to use right out of the box.

Thinner than a credit card, these force sensors fit into narrow spaces to measure the applied load between two surfaces.

Housing is brass.

These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy.

Apply your load directly to the top of these gauges to measure compression force.

Press the side of the gauge tip against an object to record the amount of tension required to move it.

Measure the tension of wire or cable.

Take tension and compression measurements at 0.1% accuracy—the highest accuracy of all our force gauges.

Read tension and compression measurements with a glance—these gauges have three color-coded indicator lights to show you if a part is at your desired force. Red means the force is too high, orange means too low, and green is just right.

Measure tension force as well as weight. Also known as dynamometers.

Check that your products have the right balance of grip and slip. For quality control, these testers are commonly used to measure friction generated by packaging materials such as plastic film and cardboard.

Measure the force needed to carry out tasks in your facility, such as pushing carts, pulling pallet trucks, or lifting containers.

Stress test an electrical connection to make sure it won't come apart.

Measure the compressive strength of concrete. These testers are often used in the construction industry to assess the quality and integrity of poured concrete.

Measure and record manually applied torque. These sensors convert torque into an electrical signal that your computer or programmable logic controller (PLC) can read.
