Cooper Instruments & Systems manufactures tension/compression pancake load cells with ranges from 0-5lbs to 0-500,000lbs. The low-profile type load cells are constructed of 17-4 PH stainless steel; while the compression-only models areavailable with a number of options including 0-5VDC, 4-20mA output, fatigue rating, high/low temperature compensation, hermetically sealed, and ultra precision accuracy. The LGP 320 compression only model is available as a dual bridge for underwater applications.

Artech Industries distributes three series of pancake load cells with capacity ranges of 1K-3K pounds, 2K-400K pounds, and 2K-200K pounds. Featuring advanced shear web/stainless steel design, the load cells are used in tube mills, extruding processes, and process weighing applications.

Load Cell Central supplies precision compression load cells and economical compression shear web load cells. The precision load cells are used for structural and materials testing, and compressive force measurement applications. They feature capacities of 300 to 10,000 lbs. or 25,000 to 200,000 lbs. The economical load cells are pancake style, constructed of nickel-plate high alloy steel, and feature capacities of 2.5K lbs. to 100K lbs.

Low profile pancake style load cells offered by Omega Engineering feature 0.25 percent interchangeability for scale applications, all stainless steel construction, and ranges from 0-2.5 to 0-10,000 kgf. The load cells are available in metric configurations.

Sensor Developments Inc. designs hollow pancake load cells and pancake style load cell. The hollow load cells are used in metal working and automotive applications, and feature overload capacity of 150 percent of F.S.. The pancake style load cells are available with capacities of 300 to 100,000 lbs., and offer high resistance to extraneous forces including bending, side loads, and torsion.

Pancake load cells offered by Futek are designed for endurance, off center loading, or inline applications. With operating temperature of of -60 to 200F or -45 to 200F, the load cells have a rated output of 1mV/V nominal to 3 mV/V nominal, and are available as universal, tension and compression, low profile, fatigue-rated low profile, low profile universal, or female threaded types.

Transducer Techniques Inc. supplies low profile universal tension or compression load cells available in 14 capacity ranges from 100 to 50,000 lbs. These load cells are sealed for protection against most industrial environments.

Loadstar Sensors Inc.'s low profile pancake load cells with through hole are used for measuring tension or compression. Available in 1000, 2500, and 5000 kg capacities, the load cells feature diameters of 90 mm to 140 mm and height of 25mm to 45mm. Additionally the load cells are designed for tank weighing, hopper weighting, and cable/wire testing applications.

DATAQ Instruments Inc. produces load cell transducers including low profile pancake type load cells that measure both tension and compression for capacities of 500 to 10,000 pounds of force. Featuring an anodized aluminum or stainless steel exterior with eight bolt-down holes, the pancake load cells are available in U.S. or metric thread configurations.

Sensing Systems Corp. distributes standard load cell types including S beam, beam, single point, canister, tension link/rod end, low profile, pancake/shear web, and load buttons/miniature.
