Force
Measure tension, compression, or load to ensure accurate control, safety, and quality in process and automation applications.
Force Measurement
Force measurement products are specialized sensors and systems designed to quantify the amount of force applied during industrial processes. These products include load cells, force transducers, and force sensors, which convert mechanical force—such as tension, compression, or shear—into an electrical signal that can be measured and monitored by control systems.
In process control environments, force measurement is essential for ensuring product quality, equipment safety, and operational efficiency. These products provide precise, real-time data that helps operators maintain consistency in pressing, forming, cutting, weighing, and other force-dependent operations. Their ability to detect subtle changes in force also supports predictive maintenance and machine protection.
Force measurement products are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage, chemical processing, and packaging. Common applications include press force monitoring, material testing, tension control in web handling, robotic gripping force feedback, and load monitoring in lifting systems or structural supports.
With high accuracy, repeatability, and durability, force measurement products play a vital role in process automation and control. Their integration with PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems allows for enhanced monitoring, closed-loop control, and traceability, helping industries meet stringent quality standards and improve overall productivity.
