Submersible tension link load cells available from Sensing Systems have been specifically developed to quantify in line tension forces at depths varying from a few feet underwater to all the way to 23,000 feet submerged.
Regular designs are available for 1,000 lbf up to 100,000 lbf. For capacities that are beyond 100,000 lbf, an applications engineer at Sensing Systems works directly with customers to offer a design specific to their application.
Underwater tension link load cells from Sensing System are used throughout the world by medical device manufacturers, marine research institutions, oil companies, and the military. Load cells can be delivered with amplified high-level signals, integral cables, underwater mateable connectors, and other interfacing options.
Key Benefits
Designs can be altered and customized to fulfill the exact needs of customers
Calibrated using NIST-traceable standards according to ASTM E4 or ASTM E264
Can be delivered from the factory within a week or sooner
Accredited to ISO 9001:2015
