Load Cells (Force Sensors)
Shear beam, S-beam and Button (Pancake) force sensors with or without integrated signal conditioner
Force sensors (or load cells) convert mechanical force into proportional electrical signals for processing. P3 America load cell force sensors are optimized for industrial applications for the precise measurement of static and dynamic loads.
Our force transducers all work on the proven strain gauge full bridge sensors and deliver an analog output signal. The output signal can be in the native mV/V which requires an external signal conditioner, or the ‘KT’ versions feature an integrated signal conditioner providing analog 0-10V or 4-20mA outputs.
High-quality metal housings ensure both high accuracy and reliable operation. Load limits of up to 300% further characterize our robust range of industrial force sensors.
With measuring ranges from 0.1 up to 750 kN and multiple styles to choose from, we have the right load cell for your measurement needs.

If a signal conditioner already exists, our load cell force sensors with AC output (mV/V) may be the best choice. If no signal conditioner exists, our load cell sensors with integrated signal conditioning and DC output (V/mA) is a perfect choice.
Load Cells (Force Sensors) FAQ
Force transducer load cells are available in Shear Beam, S-Beam, and Button (Pancake) housings. Shear Beam and S-Beam can measure compression or tensile loads. Button or Pancake models can only measure compression loads.
Our load cell sensors are all based on proven strain gauge full bridge technology which provides a native analog mV/V output signal. Our KT series incorporates an internal load cell signal conditioner providing an analog 0 - 10 volt or 4 - 20mA output eliminating the need for external conditioners that are required for the mV/V types.
Force transducer load cells convert applied forces into electrical signals. Depending on the direction of the force, a metal spring body is expanded (tensile) or compressed (compression), which is detected electrically by sensor elements and transmitted for signal processing.
The forces applied to the measuring body must not exceed the maximum rated force for which a load cell is designed. The nominal force is determined by the stiffness of the measuring body. The stiffness of the measuring body is determined by both the design and the material.
