Load Cell Manufacturing

Load cells and load pins are the cornerstone of precise measurement. That’s why we work meticulously to design and manufacture ours to the highest specifications. Excellent non-linearity, repeatability and thermal stability all come as standard.

Machining

Since 2023, PCM have been striving to bring all machining in-house, as this will give us ultimate control over the delivery of our current services. However, we hope to offer machining as an additional standalone service in the future, meaning we could be a one-stop shop for all of your engineering requirements.
