Tension load cell

Tension load cell

BROSA tension load cells are made of high-quality fine-grained steel. Depending on requirements, accurate measurements with high stability can be obtained, even in extreme measurement ranges up to 8000 kN. Applications in the harshest ambient conditions are possible in the long term due to proven strain gauge technology and sophisticated amplifiers with reliable and accurate measuring results. BROSA tension load cells are made from one workpiece without welding, even with one or two-sided fork ends. Maritime or continental finishes are offered as permanent corrosion protection.

There is a wide variety of applications in which our tension load cells are used. Here are just a few examples:

  • Lattice boom cranes

  • Drilling devices
