Tension & S-Type Load Cells for Suspended Weighing
Tension load cells convert tensile forces into electrical signals for industrial weighing and mechanical testing. ZFA supplies certified tension load cells from international brands, backed by over 17 years of experience, for suspended weighing, lifting, and force measurement applications.
- S-Type & S-Beam Design: S-type load cells measure tensile and compressive forces in applications requiring bidirectional force measurement, including material testing rigs and dynamometers.
- Suspended Process Weighing: Suitable for suspended hoppers, batching silos, mixing tanks, and vessel weighing systems, including conversions from mechanical dial scales to digital weighing systems.
- Lifting & Force Testing: Used in crane scales, overhead hoists, winches, and wire rope proof-testing systems to monitor suspended loads and tensile forces.
- Capacity Range: Available in capacities from 25 kg to over 30 tonnes, supporting light-duty dosing applications and heavy-duty crane lifting requirements.
- Self-Aligning Mounting Hardware: Rod end bearings, swivel joints, eyebolts, and rated clevis shackles help maintain axial loading and reduce unwanted angular forces. Safety drop-catch cables provide additional protection against falling loads.
- Environmental Protection & Materials: Available in nickel-plated alloy steel or stainless steel, with IP67/IP68 protection and OIML R60 Class C3 certification where specified. Standard mV/V outputs support integration with compatible weighing indicators and instrumentation.
- Regional Supply & Engineering Support: ZFA supports product selection, calibration requirements, and application integration across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the wider GCC region.
Q&A
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tension load cell?
A tension load cell is a force sensor used to measure suspended loads in pulling or hanging applications.
How does a tension load cell work?
It measures force in tension, usually using shear beam or bending beam technology depending on the load capacity.
Where are tension load cells used?
They are used in cranes, suspended tanks, hopper systems, weighing hoppers, lifting systems, and overhead force measurement.
What mounting options are available?
They can be fitted with threaded fasteners, lifting eyebolts, or shackles for flexible installation.
What is the price of a tension load cell?
Price depends on capacity, material, accuracy, and mounting type. ZFA can provide a quotation based on your application.
