Gefran specializes in the design and manufacturing of sensors, systems, and components for industrial process automation and control. The company is renowned for its expertise in the plastics industry and sensor solutions for mobile equipment.
Measuring force and load is an essential part of many industrial processes where the stresses acting on machines, structures, and materials must be monitored accurately and reliably. Force and weighing sensors are used to measure compression, tension, and bending forces as well as weight and load in applications where measurement data has a direct impact on process control, safety, and product quality. Typical applications include weighing systems, silos and hoppers, dosing and filling systems, machinery manufacturing, and applications in the plastics, packaging, and process industries.
Our product range includes Gefran force and weighing sensors based on strain gauge technology and designed for demanding industrial operating conditions. Sensors are available in various mechanical designs, including compression and tension load cells, low‑profile load cells, and cylindrical or toroidal force transducers. A wide range of measuring capacities and construction options makes it possible to select solutions for both static and dynamic force measurement applications.
Force and weighing sensors can be used as standalone measurement devices or as part of complete weighing and measurement systems. They are available with different accuracy classes, load ranges, and protection ratings, and can be connected directly to measuring instruments, control systems, or automation platforms. If required, sensors can be customized to meet specific mechanical and functional application requirements. Our strong product expertise helps ensure the right force and weighing sensor solution is selected even for demanding industrial and process engineering applications.
