Load Cells
Load cells are the sensors that sit at the heart of every weighing system — converting force into an electrical signal that an indicator or PLC reads as a weight. Hunter Weighing supplies a full range of load cells for industrial weighing: compression cells for silos and tanks, shear-beam cells for platform and floor scales, S-type cells for tension and suspended hopper applications, and double-ended shear-beam cells for weighbridges and high-capacity vessels.
We supply load cells from trusted brands in stainless steel, alloy steel and hermetically-sealed configurations, with capacities from a few kilograms through to hundreds of tonnes. Whether you're replacing a failed cell on an existing weighbridge, retrofitting a silo for inventory control, or specifying load cells for an OEM build, our technicians can recommend the right cell, mounting hardware and junction box for the job.
