A very wide variety of sensors are available for force sensing in many different configurations.
Choice of transducer can be by accuracy requirement, size constraints, off-axis loading, materials and price. It is important to consider exactly how loads will be applied. Shock loading must also be taken into account.

Bolt-On Strain Sensors Bolt-on sensors are strain gauge systems that can readily be added to larger structures to measure deflection. They are used for low accuracy weighing and overload sensing. |
 |
C1W1M Hollow Loadcell - NMB Used mainly for ram force measurement on plastic extrusion machinery. |
 |
CLS-1 - NMB Tension plate load cell |
 |
CMM1 - NMB 50kg to 20te. Low profile compression loadcell. Stainless steel. |
 |
CMP1 - NMB 250kg to 20te. High accuracy low profile load cell. Stainless steel. |
 |
CWV1 - NMB Low profile loadcell for weighing and force measurement. High sideload capability. |
 |
Custom Designed Loadcells and Sensors StrainSense specialise in providing custom solutions for most force, weighing, pressure and strain measurements as well as offering high quality competitive products for everyday applications. |
 |
Double Shear Pins Simply replace a clevis pin or sheave axle with a strain gauged pin and have weighing, force measurement or overload protection without changing the profile of the system |
 |
Entran Miniature Force Sensors A wide range of miniature force sensors, tension, compression and universal. Capacities from 0.2N to 100kN. |
 |
FSA - NMB 5kg to 20kg. A low cost beam. A half-bridge design used in each of 4 corners of a platform scale. |
 |
FSU - NMB 0.5kg to 5kg. Low cost platform weighing load cell. |
