Load Cell Central is an industry leader in designing, building, and supporting custom and off-the-shelf equipment for electronic industrial weighing systems (load cell systems) and force measurement applications. We offer load cells , electronics, scales, mounting assemblies, hardware, and all the accessories you need. We also provide expert guidance, and creative, quality solutions before, during and after the sale.

What We Do

Process control by weight, setpoint-mediated batching systems, ingredient cost control, subsea load cells, and center of gravity measurement are just a few of the challenges met daily by our seasoned, supportive sales technicians. Our load cell production team, engineers and weighing system technicians serve the industrial, medical and aerospace communities, and many other industries. We offer solid, carefully thought-out solutions that will streamline your operation, increase production, and strengthen your bottom line.

Specializing for thirty years in custom load cells, force measurement, and industrial weighing systems and components, Load Cell Central will build virtually any custom application you require to keep you on the cutting edge of technology and profitability.

Customize Your Load Cell System

Technician building load cell mounting assemblies for a systemBased on requirements you describe via telephone, along with emailed drawings and specifications as needed, your application can quickly be turned into a weighing or force measurement system from components and subsystems directly from our inventory, or custom-built to order. Our staff is continually mindful of the number one priority: Your convenience and satisfaction. We strive for the kind of precision, quality, and durability that spells long-term, worry-free operation — all with prompt delivery and meticulous attention to detail.

Whether you require 2-kilogram moment-compensated load cells, industrial drum scales, crane scales, platform scales, million-pound pancake-style load cells, or electronics and software for custom force or weight-driven feedback control or data collection--- we’ve got you covered.

For your convenience, 24/7 technical support and emergency parts are available.

Stock and Custom Load Cells

We offer a wide range of stock and custom load cells, platform scales, and floor scales for your weighing and force measurement requirements. We also provide bolt-in-place weighing assemblies for tank weighing, batch weighing, and bulk weighing applications. We also offer drum scales, crane scales, barrel scales, load pins, submersible and underwater load cells, and hermetically sealed applications for hostile and corrosive environments. Our inventory of specialty load cells, including RS232, S-Type, and USB adaptability is unmatched by our competitors.

Electronics for Load Cells
