Selection & enquiry guidance

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.

Common questions

Can Durham Lifting help with a non-standard force measurement requirement?

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.
