Tension load cells
James Fisher Strainstall’s tension load cells offer an effective alternative to load shackles.
Manufactured from either high strength aluminium for low capacities or stainless steel for higher capacities, our tension load cells are suitable for process weighing, lifting and general measurement applications. We offer three main types including flat plate, S or Z beam and column tension load cells.
Highly accurate, our S or Z tension load cells are widely used in general industrial applications. The larger capacity column tension load cells are extremely robust and suitable for use in hazardous areas.
