Tension load cells are sensors designed to measure tensile (pulling) force, converting the mechanical force into an electrical signal using strain gauges. These load cells are crucial in systems where accurate force measurement under tension is needed—such as in lifting, suspension, and pulling applications.
A tension load cell operates by detecting deformation or strain when a pulling force is applied.
Internally, bonded strain gauges change resistance proportionally to the applied force.
Electronics convert the applied force into an output signal-analog or digital.
