Custom Off the Shelf Load Cell 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.

Our Unique Load Cell Manufacturing Capabilities

DESIGN SELECTION & DELIVERY

Sensing Systems’ design and manufacturing capabilities allow for load cells that fit any shape or configuration. Whether square, rectangular, circular, or uniquely shaped, our approach incorporates standard sensing elements into a form tailored to the application. This ensures we can deliver non-standard or custom load cells quickly while maintaining precision and reliability.

CAPACITY & TRACEABILITY

Our load cells accommodate capacities ranging from 10 grams to 3,000,000 lbs, with NIST traceable calibrations available for accuracy assurance. For units exceeding this limit, they are exercised to their nominal capacity but calibrated up to 3,000,000 lbs, ensuring reliability for even the most demanding applications.

INSTRUMENTATION & ELECTRONICS

Sensing Systems’ custom load cells are designed to integrate seamlessly with various instrumentation and data acquisition systems. Whether requiring wired or wireless telemetry solutions, our load cells can be configured to meet the specific communication and performance needs of any application.

ENVIRONMENT

Our load cells are engineered to withstand harsh environments, including wet, splash, and underwater conditions. They operate reliably in extreme temperatures from -452˚F to 450˚F (-269˚C to 230˚C) and can be built to function in chemically active, magnetic, and corrosive settings, ensuring long-lasting durability in any industry.
