Compression Force Sensors & Transducers

A fatigue-rated load cell is designed and tested to withstand repeated cyclic loading without failure. SensorData's fatigue-rated sensors are guaranteed for 100 million fully reversed load cycles. This is critical in material testing, component life cycle testing, and any application involving continuous dynamic or oscillating forces where standard sensors would eventually fail.

SensorData's compression force sensors are constructed from SAE 4340 alloy steel with a satin nickel finish. This material combination provides high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-term durability in industrial, aerospace, and structural testing environments where exposure to demanding conditions is common.

Yes. SensorData compression force sensors are compatible with both AC carrier and DC strain gage signal conditioning electronics. This broad compatibility allows integration with most commercially available data acquisition systems and instrumentation setups without requiring specialized or proprietary electronics.

Most SensorData compression force sensors feature deflection of less than 0.002 inch under full rated load. This extremely low deflection means the sensors are highly stiff, minimizing measurement system compliance and ensuring that the force reading accurately represents the applied load without significant structural deformation.

Yes. SensorData Technologies offers custom sensor design services backed by over 25 years of engineering experience. Their team provides technical consultation for non-standard capacities, geometries, or environmental requirements. Proprietary rights to all custom designs are retained by the client, and in-house calibration with customer-supplied electronics is also available.

SensorData compression force sensors are used across aerospace and defense for airframe structural testing, automotive and manufacturing for press calibration and hydraulic actuator measurement, material testing laboratories for component life cycle analysis, civil engineering for structural load monitoring, and industrial weighing applications including tanks, bins, hoppers, vessels, and silos.
