Search for Force and Load Sensors by specification

Force and load sensors cover electrical sensing devices that are used to measure tension, compression, and shear forces. Tension cells are used for measurement of a straight-line force "pulling apart" along a single axis; typically annotated as positive force.  Compression tension cells are used for measurement of a straight-line force "pushing together" along a single axis; typically annotated as negative force.  Shear is induced by tension or compression along offset axes.  They are manufactured in many different packages and mounting configurations.
