Custom Multi-Axis Load Cells: Solutions for Your Measurement Needs
When a project requires a custom force and moment measurement solution, Michigan Scientific will work with our customers to define their requirements and propose solutions based on the number of measurement axes, load capacity, size limitations, accuracy, and load cell quantity needed.
Michigan Scientific employs some of the world’s most experienced and creative engineers and physicists in the design of Multi-Axis Load Cells. With our extensive expertise and innovative approach, we are confident we can deliver a solution that will work for your application.
Standard Multi-Axis Load Cells and Adaptation
Michigan Scientific has been designing and manufacturing Multi-Axis Load Cells for over 30 years. We currently manufacture 17 different standard Six Axis Load Cell models and 14 standard Three-Axis Load Cell models. Many of these standard Multi-Axis Load Cells are kept in stock for quick delivery times.
Meeting Unique Requirements with Custom Solutions
For some applications, a standard solution is not the best choice or even possible, so a custom load cell should be considered. Michigan Scientific designs load cells compatible with clean, medical industry standards to highly corrosive industrial environments, with IP67 protection being attainable for many applications. Michigan Scientific will design and manufacture custom load cells for any quantity and has provided both standard and custom load cells for many industries including automotive, heavy equipment, agricultural, aircraft, industrial, energy generation, and ship development.
Six Axis Calibration Capabilities
Michigan Scientific has one of the world’s largest Six-Axis Load Cell calibration stands, capable of calibrating load cells up to 667 kN force and 203 kN ∙ m moment. If higher calibration loads are required, larger calibration fixturing can be built. Our calibrations are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Working with Michigan Scientific
Michigan Scientific provides free consultations to determine a system price and a basic design proposal. After receipt of the PO or contract from a customer, the proposed design will be modified through direct consultation with the customer until a final design is approved.
