Choosing specialist force measurement equipment for the application
Not every force-measurement requirement fits a standard load-link or compression-cell arrangement. Where the application is unusual, the useful starting point is the force range, direction of loading, available connection geometry, environment and the data that needs to be captured.
Force and direction
Tell us the expected range and whether the application measures tension, compression or another defined load path.
Mechanical interface
Provide drawings, dimensions or photographs showing how a sensor could be incorporated.
Output requirements
Include display, wireless monitoring, logging and documentation requirements.
Specialist force measurement equipment enquiries
Can Durham Lifting help with a non-standard force measurement requirement?
Send the application, load range, direction of force, available dimensions and required output. The team can review suitable measurement options.
What should I include if I do not know the load cell type I need?
A drawing or photograph of the arrangement, expected load range, available space and the result you need to measure are a useful starting point.
Send the application details you have and the Durham Lifting team can review what is needed for a quotation.
