Load Cells

15 products

Load Cells are essential tools for measuring force and weight and are widely used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and laboratory applications. Load cells are an integral part of systems that measure, monitor, and control industrial processes. They are also used in medical and pharmaceutical research, to measure force in robotics, and to measure weight in material handling and assembly lines. Omega features a wide and comprehensive selection of load cells to meet the needs to any application - including bending beam, tension and compression link, button, low profile, through hole, S type, cannister, tension link, and single point load cells. Omega's load cells are designed for reliability and accuracy. All of Omega's load cells are calibrated and certified to meet the highest standards of accuracy. With a wide range of sizes, capacities, and configurations, there is a load cell for virtually any application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Load cells are high-precision sensors that can drift over time due to mechanical fatigue, overload, or environmental stress. Professional calibration ensures that the electrical output accurately corresponds to the physical force applied, maintaining the precision required for ISO 17025 compliance and operational safety.

For most Australian manufacturing and weighing applications, we recommend professional calibration every 12 months. In high-capacity or safety-critical environments such as crane scales or material testing labs 6-monthly intervals are advised to ensure continued accuracy and regulatory compliance.

Yes, HK Calibrations provides on-site mobile calibration for load cells across Australia. Our mobile teams can certify your weighing systems within their actual installation in Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane, significantly reducing downtime and eliminating the logistical risks of shipping heavy equipment.

Traceable calibration provides an unbroken chain of accuracy back to national standards. This is critical for Australian businesses that require legally defensible data for trade-approved weighing, structural integrity testing, or quality-critical manufacturing audits.

Inconsistent readings often indicate a failing sensor, cable damage, or moisture ingress in the junction box. You should have the system professionally inspected and recalibrated immediately to avoid costly weighing errors or potential safety hazards in your industrial process.

Absolutely. HK Calibrations provides full-range calibration for tension (pulling) and compression (pushing) load cells. We ensure that your equipment is certified across its specific operating range, providing the accurate data needed for everything from laboratory testing to heavy industrial weighing.
