Load Cell Vendors
A selection of load cell and instrumentation vendors, based on my research.
I have used load cells from Futek, Sensotek (now part of Honeywell), and Omega.
Load Cells
- Futek
- HBM
- Hoffmann-Krippner (Inelta))
- Honeywell
- Interface Force
- Kistler Force sensors using piezoelectric quartz sensors (not strain gauges)
- LCM Systems
- Loadstar Sensors
- Omega
- PCB Piezotronics
- Phidgets Good for education and experimenting
- Stellar Technology
- Strainsert
- Transducer Techniques
Load Cell Instrumentation (Signal Conditioners and such)
- Adlink The USB-2401 24-bit 4-channel DAQ features built-in signal conditioners for current output transducers, thermocouple, RTD, load cell, strain gauge, and others.
- Dataq Several models have built-in slots for DI-5B or DI-8B signal conditioners; USB, Ethernet, and data logger interfaces available.
- Data Translation Some models have built in signal conditioners for strain and bridge-based sensors.
- Futek - Signal Conditioners (1KHz, 10KHz, and 25KHz available) and USB DAQ devices for load cells
- HBM A variety of signal conditioners and DAQ systems
- Hoffmann-Krippner (Inelta)) Signal conditioners and integrated load cells
- Honeywell Inline signal conditioners and more
- Interface Force A variety of signal conditioners and DAQ systems
- Kistler Kistler makes a variety of signal conditioners for their piezoelectric quartz force sensors
- LCM Systems A variety of signal conditioners and interfaces, including compact systems with RS485 or CAN output
- Loadstar Sensors Load cell interfaces to analog and serial/USB.
- mantracourt Analog signal conditions and DAQ devices for load cells with various interfaces such as Modbus, CAN, and USB.
- Measurement Computing A wide variety of USB, Ethernet, and PCI/PCIe DAQ systems, including the USB-2404 4-channel 24-bit model with signal conditioners for voltage, temperature, or bridge-based sensors.
- Omega A wide variety of signal conditioners (mostly low frequency) and DAQ systems.
- PCB Piezotronics A variety of signal conditioners
- Phidgets Very affordable Load Cell to USB, but not in the same class as the more expensive instruments
- Stellar Technology DIN Rail and in-line analog signal conditioners
- Strainsert Signal conditioners and load indicators
- Transducer Techniques Signal conditioners and displays
