Who we’ve partnered with...

We provide standard and bespoke Load Cell Solutions

We have an extensive heritage in the design and manufacture of bespoke Load Cells, which originates from our founding partners involvement in Saunders Roe and the commercialisation of foil strain gauges.

Load Cells, also referred to as Load Cell Transducers or Load Sensors, are crucial components which are used in industrial weighing systems to measure directional forces such as tension, compression, or shear. There are several different types of Load Cells which have different applications. They can be differentiated between based on the method they use to detect weight or by the type of output signal generated.

Our bespoke Load Cells are designed and manufactured to meet your exact requirements, offering tailored solutions for unique applications.

From marine and offshore to hazardous environments, Load Cells can be tailored to your individual sector needs. Whether this is incorporating adjustments to our standard range of Load Cells or designing and creating a completely bespoke Load Cell solution – we can help provide recommendations and determine the best solution for you.

Standard Load Cells are available to purchase at Strainstall by BES Group.

For all bespoke Load Cell enquiries please contact our Load Cell team at BES Group.

Bespoke Load Cell Solutions for your individual requirements

Depending on the complexity or scale of your project, you may require more than just a standard Load Cell. Our extensive experience enables us to engineer solutions to meet your exact requirements. We provide flexibility in design whether you require a Load Cell which needs specific outputs, external testing requirements or for usage in difficult environments.

We provide customised Load Cells across various industries such as:
• Oil and Gas
• Marine and Offshore
• Construction
• Renewables

We can also integrate bespoke Load Cells into load and asset monitoring solutions. By combining our Load Cells with a range of intuitive instruments and sensors, we can provide you with real-time data and insights into your assets and operations.

This additional application has significant benefits across various projects, such as providing specialist insight into crane safety and lifting monitoring applications, highly technical monitoring systems for demanding offshore oil and gas projects, defence and nuclear projects, and renewables.

Bespoke Load Cells for Difficult Access Environments

Depending on the location of your asset or project, access may be limited or restricted for various reasons. For example, marine environments are notorious for challenging conditions, impacted by factors such as remote access, height, water, and weather. Confined Access spaces on land can also cause difficulties.

Find out more about our Specialist Access Services.

Bespoke Load Cells for Hazardous Environments

Hazardous or explosive areas are outlined by the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmosphere Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) as environments which contain, or are exposed to, flammable gases, vapours, mists or combustible dusts. As part of our custom and bespoke Load Cell Solutions, we can design and manufacture ATEX Load Cells that are aligned to ATEX and DSEAR standards so they can be considered hazardous area certified.

This involves ensuring that the design of the Load Cell can mitigate any risk of ignition, the tolerance levels for this depend on the zone classification of where the device will operate. We can work with you during the process to ensure that the Load Cells meet the requirements for operation in any hazardous or explosive environment.

We can also provide additional services for Hazardous Area Electrical Inspections.

 

Customisation

Our team of Engineers will work with you to accommodate your individual requirements and design a custom Load Cell for your unique project application.

Innovative solutions

Our bespoke service combined with our extensive experience in Load Cells allows us to provide the highest standards for your business needs.

Turnkey service

From initial concept designs and ideas to installation and inspection, our team of experts will work with you every step of the way for a fully comprehensive service.
