Load Cells & Torque Transducers

Load cells and torque transducers 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.

Strain Gauging

PCM are experts in static and fatigue test applications across most material types - no challenge is too big for us! Our wealth of knowledge and the diligence with which we approach strain gauging mean our installations have a proven track record in the motorsport, aerospace and nuclear industries, to name just a few.

Calibrating a load cell inside a test frame

Force & Torque Calibration

Make the most of our premium 3-working day service on our non-accredited and UKAS accredited calibrations. Our highly-accurate loading frames allow for a fast turnaround on small and large orders. We calibrate most load cell makes and models, with or without an instrument, accredited to ISO 17025:2017.

Product Hire & Repair

We care about giving our customers value for money. That's why we offer a repair and calibration service for damaged or suspect-working load cells, as well as a hire service. These services could eliminate the need for you to purchase new, leading to considerable savings. Rest assured, we will always propose the most cost effective solution for you.

CNC machining of a custom compression load cell

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.

Precision Measurement, Without The Wait

Exceptional engineering shouldn’t have to mean exceptionally long lead times, which is why we strive to offer turnarounds that are best in class.


Our in-house design, machining, strain gauging and calibration capabilities allow us to turn projects around quickly, with express services available for time-critical requirements
