Custom off the Shelf Load Cells

Sensing Systems has redefined custom load cell manufacturing with our “Custom Off the Shelf” concept. This approach combines the flexibility of custom design with the convenience and efficiency of pre-manufactured components. It allows us to provide tailored solutions that meet specific requirements while leveraging existing designs and technologies. This innovative model ensures that customers receive high-quality, customized load cells and force sensors without the lengthy lead times typically associated with bespoke manufacturing.

One of the core strengths of Sensing Systems lies in our comprehensive design selection capabilities. We offer a wide range of design options to meet diverse application needs, including different configurations, sizes, and load capacities. Our team works closely with clients to understand their specific requirements and recommend the optimal design solution. Whether you need a load cell for high-precision applications or a robust sensor for harsh environments, our design flexibility ensures that we can meet your needs effectively.

Custom Off the Shelf Manufacturing

Our engineering group has accumulated hundreds of custom load cell designs covering all capacities and configurations. We incorporate these designs into the geometry or mechanical configuration required to match our customers’ applications. This approach results in very fast delivery times regardless of the application. The heart of each design is the sensing element which is selected depending on the application and which can be sized up or down to meet specific capacity requirements. Sensing elements are incorporated into a mechanical package unique to the customer’s requirements. Each load cell and force sensor is environmentally protected to withstand the needs of the application and calibrated using NIST traceable standards. For custom load cell design, turn to Sensing Systems, one of the nation’s leading load cell manufacturers. 

Our Unique Capabilities

DESIGN SELECTION & DELIVERY

Sensing Systems design and manufacturing capabilities result in load cells that can be incorporated into any shape or configuration. The outside geometry may be machined to square, rectangular, circular, or any other section or shape required by the application. Sensing Systems’ approach is to incorporate our standard sensing elements into a shape that fits the customer’s application. This allows us to deliver non-standard or custom load cells matched to the application within a short period of time.

CAPACITY & TRACEABILITY

Capacities vary from 10 grams to 3,000,000 lbs for units requiring NIST traceable calibrations. Units exceeding the calibration limit are exercised to their nominal capacity but are only calibrated to 3,000,000 lbs.

INSTRUMENTATION & ELECTRONICS

Sensing Systems custom load cells can be designed to communicate with any instrumentation or data acquisition equipment. Sensing Systems utilizes wireless / telemetry equipment when required by the application. Read More

ENVIRONMENT

All load cells may be waterproofed to withstand the rigors of challenging environments including wet, splash, or underwater. These units are designed to operate in a wide temperature range of -452˚F to 450˚F (-269˚C to 230˚C). Service in chemically active, magnetic, and corrosive environments is also possible.
