Load Cells
Our load cells set standards in high-precision force measurement. With measuring accuracies of up to 0.01%, they are ideal for industrial scales, testing and filling systems, as well as dynamic systems. The wide range of geometries - from platform to pendulum load cells - ensures flexibility and precision in all areas of application. These solutions guarantee precise and reliable weight measurement.
Areas of application include:
- Platform, filling, belt, packaging scales,
- dynamic testing systems
- electronic precision, price labeling, and industrial scales.
We supply all typical and common load cell geometries as installation kits and complete weighing modules:

Force measuring shafts
Force measuring shafts, also known as force measuring shafts, are space-saving force sensors that are directly integrated into the force flow. They prove to be reliable and easy to integrate, especially in applications such as hoists, cranes, or stage construction. The robust designs guarantee a secure force measurement, even under extreme conditions.
Applications:
- Construction machinery
- Cranes
- Material handling technology
- Stage construction
Measuring axes can be integrated very space-savingly directly into the power flow and play a very important role in hoists, cranes, and deflection pulleys.
Measuring range:
- 5 kN to 100 kN
- from 100 kN
Output signals:
- mV/V
- 4 to 20 mA
- 0 to 10 V
- CANopen
