Zemic application guidance

Tension Load Cell Applications

Applications where force is pulled through the sensor rather than applied vertically in compression.

01

Best applications

Hanging and crane scales, suspended hoppers, force measurement, cable tension and test rigs.

02

Selection factors

Check capacity, thread, end fittings, safety factor, material and dynamic loading.

03

Installation notes

Keep the load in line, avoid twisting and use rated shackles or rod ends.

04

Safety considerations

Suspended loads require suitable safety factors and rated hardware beyond the load cell.

05

Signal stability

Moving loads may need indicator or transmitter filtering for a stable reading.

06

Replacement checks

Confirm thread, length, capacity, output, wiring and sealing before substitution.

PRODUCT FAQ

Common Questions

Can a tension cell measure compression too?

Some S-type cells can measure both directions when the installation supports the force direction.

What hardware is normally required?

Rod ends, clevises, shackles, hooks or eye bolts are selected for the load path and safety needs.
