Force Sensors

Configurable Tension and
Compression Force Sensors

Calibrate these sensors to your desired capacity to measure tension, compression, or both. Also known as load cells, they measure and track the forces of your equipment by converting them into electrical signals.

Ready-to-Use Tension and
Compression Force Sensor Kits

With a sensor that’s already calibrated and everything you need to relay data, these kits come ready to operate. Use them to measure forces in equipment and send the data directly to a computer or PLC to monitor, document, and trigger actions in machinery.

Digital Displays for Tension and
Compression Force Sensors

View weight measurements from your tension and compression force sensor.

Ready-to-Use Tension and
Compression Force Sensors

Already calibrated, these sensors are ready to use right out of the box.

Connection Hubs for Tension
and Compression Force Sensors

Also known as junction and summing boxes, these hubs combine the measurements of multiple tension and compression force sensors together.

Compression Force Sensors for Tight Spaces

Thinner than a credit card, these force sensors fit into narrow spaces to measure the applied load between two surfaces.

Force Gauges

Economy Tension and Compression
Force Gauges for Tight Spaces

Housing is plastic.

Tension and Compression
Force Gauges for Tight Spaces

Housing is brass.

Tension and Compression Force Gauges

Check how much force a part can take before it bends, stretches, or breaks.

Compact Tension and Compression Force Gauges

Compact Tension and Compression Force
Gauges with Certificate of Calibration

These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy.

Compression Force Gauges

Apply your load directly to the top of these gauges to measure compression force.

Tension and Compression Digital Force Gauges

Use the included Windows-compatible software to upload measurement data.

High-Accuracy Tension and
Compression Digital Force Gauges

Take tension and compression measurements at 0.1% accuracy—the highest accuracy of all our force gauges.

Go/No-Go Tension and Compression Force Gauges

Read tension and compression measurements with a glance—these gauges have three color-coded indicator lights to show you if a part is at your desired force. Red means the force is too high, orange means too low, and green is just right.

Multipurpose Force Gauge Gripping Attachments

Good for gripping most shapes and materials.

Force Gauge Gripping Attachments for Wire

Hold fine wire and filament.

Force Gauge Gripping Attachments for Sheets

Grip paper, film, and thin plastic.

Force Gauge Hook Attachments

Grab and pull objects to test their strength. These hooks thread onto the shaft of your force gauge.

Force Gauge Gripping Attachments for Pins

A chuck-style grip with a round opening gets a secure hold on pins.

Puncture Testers

Often used on packaging films, food seals, and gloves, these tools test the puncture strength of thin materials.

Ergonomics Testers

Measure the force needed to carry out tasks in your facility, such as pushing carts, pulling pallet trucks, or lifting containers.

Spring Testers

Designed to test the pull and push force of springs, insert these testers into your quality control line right out of the box.

Concrete Strength Testers

Measure the compressive strength of concrete. These testers are often used in the construction industry to assess the quality and integrity of poured concrete.
