Load cell & force sensor solutions for your industry
VektorForce designs and manufactures load cells, force sensors, weighing modules and junction boxes for equipment makers in commercial, medical, agricultural, logistics and process industries. Machining, calibration and aging tests are all done in one factory — so custom capacity, output signal and cable length get an engineer's recommendation and a quote within 12 hours. Trial orders from 1 piece.
Load cell solutions by industry
Twelve industries and the 48 weighing and force-measurement applications we build sensors for. Each card below states what we supply and the problem it solves — find the industry closest to your equipment, then read the matching solution pages at the bottom of this page.
Commercial Scales
Load cells for price scales, platform scales, floor scales and truck scales. Accuracy class, output signal and cable assembly matched to your indicator and platform size — drift-stable for volume production, supplied from trial quantities upward.
Smart Home & IoT
Micro load cells for kitchen scales, bathroom scales, smart shelves and smart retail devices — low power consumption for battery-powered designs, dimensions and output built to your enclosure drawing.
Medical Devices
Low-capacity load cells for hospital beds, patient lifts, infusion pumps and dialysis chairs — tight repeatability for safety-critical loads, with calibration data supplied for your quality documentation.
Agricultural & Livestock Equipment
Load cells for grain carts, seeders, sprayers and harvesters, plus livestock scales, TMR mixers and feed batching — sealed against dust and wash-down water, with overload margin sized for field shock and vibration, and mounting hardware for pens and feed lanes.
Miniature & Multi-Axis Force Sensors
Miniature force sensors from 10 N to 20 kN, and 3-axis or 6-axis force sensors for cobot wrists, grippers, press-fit stations and laboratory dosing — low-noise output, compact housings built to your mounting drawing, calibration data supplied with every unit.
Torque Measurement & Testing
Static and rotary torque sensors from 5 Nm to 5,000 Nm — static (reaction) types for bolt-fastening verification, torque tool calibration and pump or gearbox reaction measurement; rotary (dynamic) types for motor, driveline and e-powertrain test benches, plus joint torque sensing for robot arms.
Warehouse & Logistics
Load cells for parcel scales, sorting lines and AGV/AMR on-board weighing — fast response and repeatability that hold through high-cycle, multi-shift operation without stopping for recalibration.
Transportation & On-board
Load cells for axle-load and on-board weighing systems on trucks, trailers and refuse vehicles — shock-resistant and temperature-stable under continuous loading, on and off the road.
Fitness & Strength
Load cells for connected strength machines, cable stacks and smart racks — compact enough to mount inside the machine frame, with the overload rating to survive dropped plates and daily commercial use.
Process, Silo & Tank
Weigh modules and load cells for silos, hoppers and tank farms — mounting kits absorb thermal expansion and vibration, so the weight reading stays accurate on a working vessel.
Process Control & Automation
Load cells, weigh modules and junction boxes for filling, batching and checkweighing lines — output signal matched to your PLC input, quoted and delivered as one complete wired assembly.
OEM & Custom Build
Custom load cells built to your drawing — capacity, output signal, cable length and mounting dimensions all configurable. Drop-in replacements for discontinued parts are a routine request, from 1-piece trial runs.
Your application not on the list?
Send us the environment, capacity range and annual volume — an engineer will recommend a sensor configuration and send a quote within 12 hours. Custom builds and trial orders from 1 piece are welcome.
Ask about your application →Solution pages by application
One page per application: how to size the load cell capacity, which mounting hardware fits, how the signal wires into your controller, and what field results show. New pages appear here automatically when published.
How a solution comes together
Four steps from first inquiry to volume supply — your application is reviewed by an engineer, and the quote comes with a recommended sensor configuration, not just a price list.
Share the application
Environment, capacity range, accuracy class and estimated annual volume — a few lines is enough.
Day 0Engineering proposal
A recommended sensor configuration with specs and mounting drawings — not a price list.
Within 12 hTrial units
Approve the fit on a small build before committing — trial orders from 1 piece are welcome.
2–4 weeksBatch & support
Volume production with 100% factory calibration and overload testing, inspection reports in the box.
OngoingWhy manufacturers work with us
Elastomer machining, strain-gauge bonding, calibration and aging tests are all done in our own factory — that is why custom builds are quotable in hours instead of weeks.
Feed-weighing system for a cattle-farm equipment maker — 4 × heavy-duty load cells, 0.02% FS, shipped with mounting kits and sealed junction boxes.
Custom-build: extended cable, sealed housings, capacity matched to the hopper geometry. Trial units approved before batch production.
Checkweighing retrofit for a packaging-machine OEM — miniature single-point sensors replacing a discontinued European part, drop-in mounting dimensions.
Custom cable routing matched to the machine harness; first article approved, then annual batch supply.
