Frequently Asked Questions

How do pancake load cells work?

Pancake load cells measure compressive or tensile forces using strain gauges bonded to a shear web or disc-shaped element. When a force is applied, the element deforms slightly, causing a change in electrical resistance in the strain gauges. This signal is conditioned and converted into a precise force reading. Their low-profile design ensures high stiffness and minimal deflection, typically less than 0.002 inches.
