Table of Contents
A tension load cell is a specialized type of load cell designed specifically for the measurement of tensile forces.
Load cells are classified based on their output signal type, which includes pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical variants. They are further distinguished by the method they use to detect weight, such as bending, shearing, compression, or tension. Tension load cells are configured to provide readings that increase in the positive direction as tensile force is applied.
Tension load cells are characterized by their slim and robust design, often constructed from welded stainless steel. They excel at accurately measuring tensile forces and are versatile in their applications. Many industrial load cells are equipped with load connection screws, making them suitable for use in various environments. Common industrial applications for tension load cells include measuring the tension of wire ropes, weighing suspended loads on cranes, automatic weighing systems, and control systems for batch processing.
