Wire Rope Load Cell – Clamp-On Tension Sensor for Cranes & Hoists

The Wire Rope Load Cell from Speed-O-Controls is a precision tension measuring device specially designed for hoist and crane weighing systems. By securely clamping onto the fixed end of a steel wire rope, it provides real-time tension sensing without requiring any modifications to your machinery—making it both convenient and highly effective.

⚡️Key Features & Benefits
  • Clamp-On Design for Easy Retrofit
    Fits most standard rope sizes directly, eliminating the need for structural changes to existing lifting systems.
  • High-Accuracy Strain Gauge Measurement
    Converts tension force into an electrical output (2 mV/V ± 0.02%) with excellent linearity and stability, allowing accurate tension monitoring.
  • Wide Load Range & Compatibility
    Available in 2 T, 5 T, and 10 T versions to suit diverse crane and hoist applications.
  • Robust Electrical Performance
    Features high insulation resistance (≥ 5000 MΩ), minimal hysteresis (< 0.03 %FS), and tight repeatability (≤ 0.02 %FS) for reliable industrial use.
