Compression load cells measure pushing force, while tension load cells measure pulling force.
Compression load cells measure pushing force, while tension load cells measure pulling force.
Compression load cells are designed to measure loads applied in a compressive direction, such as under a structural beam or support point. Tension load cells measure pulling forces and are often used in tiebacks, anchors, cables, and post-tensioning systems. Choosing the correct type depends on how force is applied in the structure. Hydraulic Rentals can help determine the correct load cell configuration for your application.
Renting provides access to specialized monitoring equipment without high purchase cost.
Yes. Many Geokon load cells are designed for long-term structural and geotechnical monitoring.
Geokon load cells are designed for high accuracy in professional engineering applications.
Yes. Load cells are commonly used during bridge lifting to verify load distribution and safety.
They can. Readouts and monitoring equipment may be included depending on the rental package.
They are used for measuring load, not lifting.
Geokon load cells are used to measure compression or tension forces in lifting, structural, and geotechnical applications.
