LOAD CELLS

Bertec Corporation's load cell transducers were originally developed to measure the loads transmitted by lower limb prostheses. This design has formed the basis for many multi-component load transducers presently available in the market for other applications including industrial load measurements. Through the use of strain gage technology, innovative design, and quality manufacturing, Bertec's load cells are well suited for both static and dynamic applications.
 

Each load cell is manufactured from high strength aluminum and designed to have a high natural frequency. Years of experience in load cell design enables Bertec to customize all models to suit customers' requirements. Most of the models, for example, can be retrofitted to be waterproof or the sizes of standard models can be modified for specific applications.

Bertec load cells range from simple one-component load transducers to higher-end six-component devices
(the PY6), which measure the three orthogonal components of the resultant force acting on the transducer and the three components of the resultant moment in the same orthogonal coordinate system. The point of application of the force and the couple acting on the transducer can be readily calculated from the measured force and moment components.

Our load cells have a myriad of uses from clinical to industrial applications.  They can be designed for any load range and many environmental conditions meaning Bertec load cells should be the foundation of your force measurement system.
