Load Cells Force & Strain Measurement

61 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

To ensure accurate weighing and force measurement, load cells should be calibrated every 12 months. In high-usage Australian environments like mining, construction, or waste management, 6-monthly intervals are recommended to maintain ISO 17025 compliance and operational safety.

Yes, HK Calibrations provides on-site mobile calibration for load cells and force sensors across Australia. Our mobile teams can certify your equipment within its actual installation in Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth, significantly reducing downtime for fixed weighing systems or large-scale machinery.

Traceable calibration provides a documented chain of accuracy back to national standards, ensuring your results are legally defensible. This is vital for Australian businesses involved in structural safety testing, trade-approved weighing, and quality-critical manufacturing audits.

Tension calibration measures "pulling" forces, while compression calibration measures "pushing" loads. Many industrial applications require dual-mode calibration to ensure the sensor maintains precision throughout its full range of motion, meeting the strict requirements of Australian engineering standards.

Unstable readings often indicate environmental interference, moisture ingress, or internal sensor fatigue. You should have the unit professionally inspected and recalibrated immediately to avoid costly measurement errors or safety hazards in your weighing and force-testing operations.

Absolutely. Our laboratories and mobile units are equipped to calibrate high-capacity load cells used in Australian cranes, silos, and heavy transport. We ensure every unit is tested to its specific capacity, providing the certification needed for site safety and regulatory compliance.
