Load Sensors manufactured in US by FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology (AST), a leading manufacturer producing a huge selection of Load Sensors, utilizing one of the most advanced technologies in the Sensor Industry: Metal foil strain gauge technology.

A Load Sensor is defined as a transducer that converts an input mechanical force into an electrical output signal. Load Sensors are also commonly known as Load Transducers or Load Cells.

Metal foil strain gauge based technology facilitates a design of a Load Sensor through the following ‘Lehman’ described process (by department):

A Load Sensor ‘flexure,’ a physical unit comprised of high strength materials, is designed and fabricated by FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technologies Engineering Team and In-House Machine shop, respectively.
Metal foil strain gauges are then bonded to a diaphragm or most sensitive area of physical design by FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology’s Lamination Department.
The Metal foil strain gauge Wheatstone bridge configuration is then wired by our specialized department while accounting for temperature compensation affects of the transducer/sensor.
When Our NIST Traceable Calibration Department applies a mechanical load, a weight of tension or compression direction, the strain gauge then does its magic by capitalizing in this mechanical deformation and thus producing an electrical resistance change proportional to the load.

FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technologies strain gauge based Load Sensor are widely known in many industries to contain:

The Highest accuracy which may conform to many standards from the Automotive to Aerospace.
Robust Construction made of either high strength Stainless steel or Aluminum.
A guarantee to perform at longest possible work life even at the most rigorous conditions
A plethora of mounting options for ANY scale ANY-where.
Competitive pricing that separates FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology from the rest.
A full gamut of selections with capacities ranging from 10 grams to 1 MILLION pounds.

From submersible to space, FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology Load Sensor cover an array of applications in many industries ranging from Medical, Automotive, Aviation, Aerospace, Computer, Textile, Material Testing, Process Control, and Robotic & Automation just to name a few.
