Strainsert Co. designs and manufactures universal load cells, compression load cells, metric universal load cells, and fatigue-rated universal load cells. The universal load cells feature load capacities of 250 lb to 10,000 lb., and are available in dual bridge configurations and with 3mv/V sensitivities. The universal load cells are 2-11/16 in. in diameter and can measure forces in tension and compression directions. The cells feature a force measurement range of 250 to 2 million pounds. Strainsert's compression loads cells are used in aerospace, automotive and industrial applications. They feature force measurements of 250 to 2.5 million pounds, and are 2-11/16 in. in diameter. The fatigue-rated universal cells feature a 1 billion cycles fatigue rating and are available in sizes ranging from 2-11/16 in to 8-1/2 in. in diameter.

Cooper Instruments manufactures a number of load cell types including: S Beam, universal beam, tension/compression, hermetically sealed S-beam, universal, ultra precision, low profile, compact, donut, subminiature, miniature-threaded stud, miniature, gram range force, shear beam, single point, canister, rod end, steel threaded rod, and tank weighing. Depending on type the load cells measure tension and compression, tension only or compression only. Capacity ranges for the load cells vary significantly from 5 lbs to 300,000 lbs.

Futek Advanced Sensor Technology Inc. manufactures 13 types of load cells including: automotive, bending beam, canister, rod end, pancake, in line, load button, force washer, medical, low profile, S beam, side mounted, and thru hole/donut. The bending beam load cells are used for OEM applications, while rod end load cells are used for applications involving inline actuators or hydraulic jacks with male/female threads. The rod end cells have a capacity range of 100 lbs to 20,000 lbs. Futek's donut load cells are resitant to high extraneous loads, and feature an I.D. range of 1/8" to 1-1/4". The force washer load cells feature bolt size options from 2 to 10 inches, and have a capacity range of 3,000 lbs to 300,000 lbs. The capacity range of the side-mounted load cells is 100 grams to 500 lbs.

Flintec manufactures single-point, planar beam, beam-type, tension, compression, and custom-designed load cells. The single-point load cells are used for retail scales, dynamic weighing machinery, industrial bench and floor scales, and on-board vehicle weighing equipment. The planar beam load cells are designed for weighing environments where space is a limiting factor.  Flintec's beam-type are used in filling machinery, industrial floor scales, tank and silo weighing applications. The compression load cells are known for their high capacity and accuracy.

Transducer Techniques Inc. manufactures 24 series of load cells with capacities ranging anywhere from 2.5 lbs to 400,000 lbs. Load cell types include: universal, miniature, subminiature, mini low profile, low profile, button, mini-load column, thru-hole, load washer, precision, dual stud mount, compact, in tension, hermetically-sealed, low profile universal, load pin, fatigue resistant, and ultra low profile.

Load Cell Central manufactures low-capacity, mid-range, and high capacity load cells. The low capacity cells feature capacities from 25 grams to 150 pounds, with the mid-range cells having capacities of 200 to 20,000 pounds. High-capacity cells have a maximum capacity of one million pounds. Load Cell Central also builds eight types of load cells including: single point, S-type, miniature, pancake, submersible, single-ended beam, double-ended bean, and canister.
