Our expertise in sensors and instrumentation
Force sensors, torque transducers and measurement consoles are the building blocks of any integrated quality control or production monitoring system. Where standalone dynamometers and torque testers provide direct operator readings, sensors and instrumentation components are designed to be embedded into test benches, automated lines and data acquisition systems — delivering continuous, traceable measurement data directly into your quality management processes.
ACRN offers a focused range of industrial sensors and instrumentation: load cells and force transducers covering capacities from a few grams to several tonnes, static torque sensors for inline screwdriver control, and the XA measurement console for multi-sensor data display, storage and export. These components are fully compatible with ACRN instruments and can also interface with third-party test equipment.
Whether you are building a custom test bench, automating an existing quality control station or looking to add data logging capability to a manual measurement process, our application engineers will help you select and integrate the right sensor and instrumentation solution for your application.

Main business sectors
Force sensors and torque transducers are used in cosmetics manufacturing to monitor capping torque on automated filling lines, measure seal force on tube welding equipment and control actuator force in labelling and assembly machinery.
Inline measurement with data output allows real-time process monitoring and automatic rejection of out-of-tolerance assemblies.
In pharmaceutical manufacturing and medical device assembly, embedded force and torque sensors provide continuous measurement traceability on production lines.
Applications include syringe plunger force monitoring, closure torque verification on automated capping lines and press-fit force control in device assembly.
Our sensors are compatible with 21 CFR Part 11 compliant data acquisition systems.
Force transducers and torque sensors are widely used in automotive and general industrial manufacturing for press-fit force monitoring, fastener torque verification and component testing.
ACRN S-beam load cells and inline torque sensors can be integrated into existing test benches or custom fixtures to add measurement capability to your production process.

These are our main areas of expertise, but our solutions can be adapted to many other industrial sectors. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements, whatever your industry.
Why choose ACRN sensors and instrumentation
Compatible with ACRN instruments and third-party equipment : Our force sensors and torque transducers are designed to work natively with the ACRN XA measurement console, but are also compatible with standard analogue and digital signal conditioning equipment. This flexibility allows integration into existing test systems without requiring a complete instrumentation overhaul.
Capacities from micro-force to high load: Our sensor range covers applications from very low load measurement — suitable for lightweight packaging components and delicate assemblies — through to high-capacity load cells for industrial press and tensile testing. Custom capacity and sensitivity specifications are available on request.
Data output and SPC integration : The XA console provides RS232 and USB data output, enabling direct export of measurement values to spreadsheets, quality management software and SPC systems. Peak hold, real-time display and statistical functions are built in, reducing the need for post-processing.
Calibration and traceability : All ACRN sensors are supplied with a calibration certificate. COFRAC-accredited recalibration is available to maintain measurement traceability in accordance with ISO 9001 and GMP requirements.
