Experts in load cells and strain gauging
Established in 1983, we can offer you over 35 years’ experience in the design and manufacture of load cells and supply of instrumentation. Our in-house design team build bespoke customer load cells.
We also offer in-house load cell repair, traceable or UKAS accredited load cell calibration as well as an equipment hire service. We configure strain gauge installations to customer requirements, in-house/on-site, static/dynamic, -269°C/+1000°C, steel/composite, etc.
All our load cells and strain gauging services are covered by our commitment to ISO 9001:2015 approval.
