Traction

Tension load cells are sensors designed to measure the force exerted when an object is stretched. They are essential in industrial applications where it is necessary to monitor and control the tension applied to various structures and equipment.
 

Operating principle of tension load cells

The operation of a tension load cell is based on strain gauges attached to a metallic body. When a tensile force is applied, the structure deforms slightly, causing a change in the electrical resistance of the strain gauges. This variation is then converted into an electrical signal proportional to the applied force.

 

The importance of tension load cells in industrial environments

Tension load cells play a crucial role in ensuring safety and efficiency in industrial processes. They are used in crane monitoring, material testing, and lifting systems, where precise force measurement is critical.
