through hole load cell

Kingmach’s through hole load cells bring together robust construction and practical installation. The body is machined from high-strength stainless steel, sealed to IP67 or higher as an option, and available in capacities commonly used for bolt tension monitoring, cable stays, and tie-back anchors. The central hole accepts the structural member directly, eliminating adapter plates and reducing stack height. Output is typically 2 mV/V, compatible with most industrial indicators, and optional 4-20 mA or digital outputs simplify integration into PLC systems. Because every project has unique demands, Kingmach offers bore diameters from less than half an inch up to several inches, and can adjust the outer diameter and height to match existing space envelopes. Customers who need non-standard electrical connectors or extended temperature ranges will find that custom orders are handled without excessive lead times or cost premiums. The strain gauge bridge uses metal foil elements bonded under controlled conditions, and each cell undergoes a full scale, zero balance, and creep test before delivery. For monitoring post-tensioned cables or foundation anchors, Kingmach provides matched readout instruments and data loggers, often bundled with the sensors to simplify procurement. Field service teams can access remote diagnostics if data anomalies crop up, and local distributors carry common accessories like load buttons, rod ends, and mating cables. This practical support network helps keep downtime short. When a standard off-the-shelf part just does not fit, Kingmach’s engineering team works from a dimensioned sketch to quote a build that meets the spec, without pushing buyers into overly expensive premium lines.
