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.

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.

Direct Integration with ADC-Based Displays: Easily connects to digital display panels for load calibration, overload protection, or crane weight reading systems.
Stable Performance Over Time: Low creep and tight repeatability ensure dependable long-term operation even in demanding industrial environments.
High Damage Tolerance: Capable of handling up to 150 % of its rated load, providing safety margin against overloads.
Minimal Thermal Drift: With low temperature coefficients, the sensor delivers consistent readings across varying ambient conditions.

Crane and Hoist Tension Monitoring
Accurately measure rope tension for overload protection, safety interlocks, or weight estimation.
Retrofitting Existing Equipment
Easily clamps onto existing wire rope without affecting mechanical integrity.
Industrial Weighing Systems
Ideal for dynamic or static load-bearing systems with real-time monitoring needs.
Harsh Industrial Environments
Durable and accurate under tough conditions—such as mines, ports, or steel plants.
