What is a tension link load cell?

A tension link load cell is one of the many different kinds of load cells available on the market today. A tension link load cell is an internal strain gauge load cell that has been designed specifically to provide users with quick and accurate measurements of tension or pulling force on a cable, wire, chain, strap, or rope. They have been designed to be mounted directly to the side of the cable you are measuring, these types of load cells do not require any additional mounting hardware.
