    Tension Only Load Cells

    Tension occurs when a tensile stress is applied to a material resulting in it stretching. This leads to an increase in length, nominally <0.5mm.

    Tension Load Cell

    To be aware of:

    1. How the force is going to be applied to the load cell. This is how you maximise your accuracy in the system.
    2. Mis-aligned forces can damage certain designs of load cells.
    3. Be aware of how the force and re-acting force is to be applied to the load cell. Refer to the sketch: Pg 2 bottom right hand side of the PCM data sheets.

    If you would prefer to discuss your load cell application with an engineer whilst studying the website, please do not hesitate to contact us on +44 (0) 1926 864444
