SensorData Technologies' Pancake Load Cells are low-profile, high-stiffness force measurement sensors engineered for demanding applications including material testing, airframe testing, press calibration, and industrial weighing. Built from SAE 4340 alloy steel with fatigue ratings up to 100 million fully reversed cycles, these sensors deliver exceptional accuracy and durability.


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.
