S-type load cells, also referred to as S-beam load cells, are force sensors specially designed to accurately measure both tension and compression. The name "S-type" is derived from their distinctive S-shape. Some users prefer to call them "Z-type," referring to their structured centre beam spring element.

The S-type load cells we offer vary in capacities, ranging from a nimble 25kg up to an impressive 30 tonnes. These units utilize advanced metal foil strain gauge technology. Their notable accuracy and compact design attributes make them a top choice for applications requiring precise force measurements. With easy and versatile installation using rod ends or load buttons, S-type load cells deliver outstanding performance for tension and compression applications alike.
Our range of S-type load cells is available in both low and high-capacity options. They are primarily designed to measure tensile forces but are equally competent in measuring compressive forces.
Built from stainless steel or aluminum alloy, depending on the range size, these sensors offer measurements from as light as 200g up to a hefty 1T. Their high precision, easy installation, and reliable stability are just some of their numerous advantages. With such robust features, they are a perfect fit for applications such as dosage scales, packaging scales, hook scales, and technical control equipment. Through precise force measurement, they enhance the reliability of these devices, helping to optimize operations and product quality.
In recent years, the issue of overcapacity has sparked widespread debate among industry experts and professionals. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the cable market, where production capacity has expanded rapidly. China is home to nearly ten thousand cable companies, but more than 99.6% of them are small or medium-sized enterprises. These firms primarily produce low-end products, and the surge in output has far outpaced demand, leading to severe overcapacity.
Moreover, there are still many "three-no" products—products that lack quality assurance, financial backing, and reliable credit. This not only undermines consumer confidence but also creates a chaotic market environment. The mid- to low-end segment is heavily oversupplied, while the high-end market remains largely untapped. Domestic cable manufacturers, especially smaller ones, struggle with limited R&D capabilities. As a result, high-end products such as ultra-high voltage (UHV) cables, nuclear cables, and submarine cables are predominantly dominated by foreign companies.
It's important to note that overcapacity doesn't necessarily mean the industry is saturated. In fact, the current situation in China's wire and cable sector is more about structural overcapacity rather than an overall surplus. This means that the problem lies in the mismatch between supply and demand at different market levels, rather than a complete oversupply across the board.
Interestingly, even though overcapacity may seem daunting, it's not inherently negative. It can act as a catalyst for change, pushing weaker players out of the market and forcing others to innovate. Companies must respond to this pressure by investing in new product development, refining their product structures, and enhancing their competitive edge. In this way, the harsh realities of the market can drive long-term growth and improvement.
Through this process of natural selection, the industry will eventually see the rise of a few strong, globally competitive enterprises. These companies will be known for their high-quality products and advanced technology, positioning China as a major player on the world stage. The coming wave of consolidation will not only clean up the market but also lay the foundation for sustainable development in the future.
