Compression Load Cell

Essentially a compression load cell is a block that is designed to hold a load at one point to measure the compression.

Compression load cell.

Our proprietary microfused technology derived from demanding aerospace applications employs micro machined piezoresistive strain gages fused with high temperature glass to a high performance stainless steel force measuring flexure. Compression load cell technology is widely used in a range of industrial and technical applications. A compression load cell with digital readout can be used for many different applications and the readout is key to ensuring traceability of processes. By adding the straightpoint wireless system to the already popular compression load cell line we have developed a cost effective alternative to standard compression load cells.

The rc range of high capacity compression load cells by flintec are well known for their quality and reliability. Loadsafe wireless compression load cell is taking the heavy lift and structural weighing industry by storm. For this reason a fully reliable compression type load cell solution from a reliable supplier is key to your operations success. Sometimes defined as a canister load cell our range of sensors are ideally suited to high accuracy applications in truck and railway scales tank and silo weighing and in heavy duty industrial scales where load cell compression measuring techniques are required.

Compression load cells and compression tension load cells. For extended outdoor use or in a marine environment or for underwater use we recommend a. The elaf series compression and tension load cells raise the bar for high performance at low cost. Do you need a through hole or compression load washer load cell that allows a structure to pass through the load cell.

Generally a compression load cell is placed beneath the object that needs measuring. While tension load cells measure the pulling force compression load cells measure a pushing force along a single axis. A compression load cell frequently features a low profile button or circular design that works excellently in conditions where both lateral and overhead space is limited.
