Flat Load Cell® General Product Information
Strainsert has been designing and manufacturing precision Flat Load Cells® for
forty five years. The load cells are instrumented with the same proprietary unique strain gaging
technique perfected by Strainsert and used so successfully in Strainsert Bolts, Load Pins and Tension
Links for many research, testing and control applications.
The load cells offer
precision force measurement by integrating into the load/force path and are commonly used in
Aerospace, Automotive, Military, Marine and many other industries.

The structure of the Strainsert load cell is simple and compact, consisting
of an inner loading hub and an outer supporting flange bridged smoothly by a uniformly
continuous solid shear web avoiding structural stress risers. Strainsert gages are installed and sealed inside small gage
holes along the neutral axis of the web. Linearity and symmetry of output signal in tension and compression are obtained by equal
straining of all shear gages in the bridge circuit of the load cell.
Low deflection and high natural frequency of the available load cell are obtained, along
with high resistance to extraneous forces. Mechanical and dynamic properties of
load cells are fully tabulated.
