Low Profile Load Cells

Low Profile Load Cells are thin, low profile force sensors often used in applications that have no room for error. They are commonly used in the automation of equipment and the testing of structures in industrial weighing systems.

From various purposes of use, the Low Profile Load Cells have their typical measurement ranges as follows:

Small range: 1kg to 50kg

Used in high-precision test,Small platform scale and medical device.

Medium span: from 100 kg to 2 t crowds, crowds.

Applications Used widely in construction, automated factories, material or quality control and products testing etc.

Upper Limit Range: 5tons to 50tons (or more)

Applied to structural monitoring, big industrial scale, bridge force measurement system, etc.

Standing for Low Profile Load Cell, Low Profile Load Cells is actually not a category or a kind of product; but it is a concept under which many kind of products can be classified on multiple criteria, such as structure type, force introducing method, output way, material they are made from, installation method, etc.

1. Classification by Structural Design

Pancake Load Cells (Pancake style load cell)

Features: Round disk shape and a hole in the center for easy handling, suitable for both compression and tension.

Applications: Testing of materials, Testing of components used in automotive, Detection of bolt preload force

Compact Weighing Cells (Compact weighing cells)

Product Features: 1.Ultra-thin design, without center holes

Applications: Medical instruments, Small scales, Robot arm end effectors

Thru-Hole/Donut Load Cells (Thru-Hole / Hollow-Type Sensors)

Features: The products have a central hole for a screwto pass through or a shaft for proto-type, model or other projects use.

Applications:Measurement of tension, bolt loading, cable force-monitoring

2. Classification by Load Type

Compression (Force) Load Cells

Measures only compression-direction loads

Used in test stands supporting structures, truck scales and many other general purpose applications

↔️ Tension & Compression Load Cells (Tension and Compression Reversible)

Suitable for testing both tension and compression types applications

Applications: For bidirectional load systems such as structural testing; material experiments etc

3. Classification by Output Signal Type

Analog Output

mV/V signal for use with conventional weighing devices

Available in a variety of ranges for most applications, highaccuracy, high stability

Digital Output

RS485, CAN, Modbus RTU, etc.

Applied to smart broadcasting and remote control system

4. By Material

Stainless Steel

Corrossion Resistant,For Outdoor, Food and Medical Industry

Alloy Steel

High strength, low price, high load option

Aluminum

Being light and easy to carry and used for portbale and close range measurement.

5. By Installation (By Installation)

Bolt-Mounted

Fixed holes or thread inserts to ensure stable installation

Free-Standing

No bolts needed, appropriate for temporary testing or embedding in structures

Flange-Mounted

With flanges, easy for connection with the machine booth
