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.

Measure the tension of wire and filament without pausing your operation.

Measure the tension of wire or cable.

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

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

Housing is brass.

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.

Often used on packaging films, food seals, and gloves, these tools test the puncture strength of thin materials.

Designed to test the pull and push force of springs, insert these testers into your quality control line right out of the box.

Keep an eye on belt tension to minimize vibration, noise, and slippage.
