Button Type Load Cell

ADI APT-961 pancake load cell (also known as a Universal Load Cell or Shear Web Load Cell) is a high-precision force transducer distinguished by its flat, low-profile, and circular or disc shape, resembling a pancake. Its low-profile and round design allows it to be installed in environments with limited space or height constraints. It is highly versatile, designed for measuring forces in both tension (pulling) and compression (pushing). The structure typically features a central threaded hole for applying the load and multiple mounting holes on the outer ring for securing it to a surface. The internal element often consists of multiple shear webs or spokes arranged symmetrically. A key advantage is its high resistance to off-axis loading (side forces or bending moments), making it exceptionally accurate and reliable even when the load is not perfectly centered. It is also known as model 90610
