Our expertise
Integration with your control systems
Force sensors, torque transducers, and measurement consoles are the fundamental components of any integrated quality control or production monitoring system.
While standalone force gauges and torque transducers provide direct readings to the operator, sensors and instrumentation components are designed to be integrated into test benches, automated production lines, and data acquisition systems, thereby providing continuous, traceable measurement data directly to your quality processes.
- High-precision measurement — resolution down to the milliampere
- Compatible with third-party test benches and equipment
- Export — RS232 and USB
- COFRAC calibration available

What is an industrial force sensor?
A force sensor, also known as a load cell or strain gauge depending on the technology used, is a transducer that converts mechanical force into a measurable electrical signal. The signal is then processed by a console or controller to display, store, or export the value in Newtons (N) or kilogram-force (kgf).
There are several types of sensors, depending on their application: S-shaped load cells for tension and compression, button-type load cells for insertion testing, load cell bridges for weighing benches, and static torque sensors for in-line screwdriving control. ACRN offers all of these technologies in sizes ranging from a few grams to several tons.
How do you choose a sensor or measuring instrument?
The choice depends on several factors: the range of force or torque to be measured, the type of load (tension, compression, static torque), the data acquisition rate, the need for traceability, and the desired level of automation.
ACRN supports its clients from needs analysis through to implementation: selecting the sensor, the measurement console, integration accessories, and connecting to the existing quality system. Our equipment is designed to be durable, scalable, and serviceable, with the longest lifespan on the market.
