TLC SENSOR SELECTION
Four geometries.
One clear load path.
Compare the measurement arrangement first. Capacity, threads, sealing, calibration and output are confirmed for the selected model.
S-Beam Tension & Compression Load Cells
Axial force measurement for tensile test machines, suspended weighing and automated test fixtures. Start with the load case, then match the thread and signal chain.
Explore TLC-SBM →Wireless & Cabled Tension Load Links
Configure a load link for crane proof-load testing, water-bag trials, mooring or suspended load monitoring. Match the complete load path, shackles and readout before ordering.
Explore TLC-LNK →Cantilever Web & Wire Tension Load Cells
Single-ended flange-mounted cantilever roll sensors for narrow webs, plus three-pulley geometries for wire, yarn and filament. Size for resultant roller force and the actual material path.
Explore TLC-WEB →Permanent Wire Rope Clamp & Chain Tension Measurement
Permanently installed rope clamp sensing for running-load monitoring, overload indication and slack-rope detection. Chain measurements require a separately rated chain-compatible assembly.

Filter by force, geometry and signal
These configuration references organise an engineering enquiry. Listed envelopes describe the scope to discuss across variants; exact capacity, dimensions, availability and approvals are confirmed on the model documentation.

| TLC-LNK-WLS Wireless load-link enquiry | 1–500 metric tf across configurations | Wireless handheld kit | Matched rated shackle assembly Confirm region, readout protocol, update rate, battery and signal-loss behaviour. | Review this configuration → |
| TLC-HOK Integrated hook load-path review | 1–30 metric tf requested scope | Wireless handheld kit / 4–20 mA | Hook swivel / latch / overhead clearance A dedicated hook assembly requires its own rated load path and approval; not a link accessory assumption. | Review this configuration → |
| TLC-WTSTL Stainless marine link review | 5–100 metric tf requested scope | Wireless handheld kit / 4–20 mA / RS485 Modbus | Shackle interfaces and material/environment review Confirm 316L material, sealing, immersion conditions and antenna location; do not assume radio transmission through water. | Review this configuration → |
| TLC-LNK-STG Low-visibility stage link review | 0.5–5 metric tf requested scope | Wireless handheld kit | Suspension geometry / finish review Specify required minimum breaking load, finish and applicable approvals; a reduced WLL is not certification. | Review this configuration → |
| TLC-HTL Hollow-anchor tensioning review | 100–2,000kN requested scope | 4–20 mA / 2.0 mV/V bridge | Bore / seating / distribution plate review Identify whether force is inferred from hydraulic pressure or measured by an annular strain-gauge element. | Review this configuration → |
