NWI Group supply a full range of Loadcells and load cell mounting kits. We supply a comprehensive range of the following types of load cells, Shear beam, Single point, S-Type, Button load cells, Hygienic load cells, Weighbridge load cells and Analogue converters to convert Analogue load cell signal to a digital output.
Load cells are a type of transducer used to convert force or weight into an electrical signal. They are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including weighing scales, material testing machines, and industrial automation systems.
Load cells typically consist of a metal body and a strain gauge that is attached to the body. When a force is applied to the load cell, it causes the metal body to deform slightly, which in turn causes a change in the resistance of the strain gauge. This change in resistance is then converted into an electrical signal, which can be read by a display or control system.
Shear beam load cells are a type of load cell that is designed to measure forces applied in shear.
Bending beam load cells are a type of load cell that is designed to measure forces applied in tension.
Single point load cells are a type of load cell that is designed to measure forces applied at a single point.
Weighing transmitters are designed to provide accurate and reliable weight information.
Hygienic load cells are specialised load cells that are designed for use in hygienic applications, such as food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology.
Compression or pancake load cells are a type of load cell that is designed to measure forces applied in compression.
Weighbridge load cells are a specialised type of load cell that is designed to be used in weighbridge systems, which are used for weighing vehicles such as trucks and trains.
Load cell assembly kits are a type of load cell product that provide users with the ability to build their own custom load cell assemblies.
Decades delivering accurate, durable load-cell solutions across food & bev, pharma, mining, manufacturing, and logistics.
Guidance across shear, compression, S-type, single-point, tank/vessel, axle and weighbridge cells—analog or digital.
Designs for high-care washdown and hazardous areas (IECEx) to keep you compliant and audit-ready.
Correct sizing, mounting kits, and mechanical isolation for vibration, side-load, thermal expansion, and lift-off.
Access to trusted manufacturers with local stock and spare parts to minimise downtime.
On-site commissioning, traceable calibration, and documented test reports to meet QA and regulatory needs.
CPD-M Digital Weighbridge Load Cells — NWI’s load cell of choice for new installations and upgrades — combine robust stainless-steel construction with true digital intelligence to deliver accuracy, reliability and easy service in demanding weighbridge environments.
Built for harsh sites, CPD-M cells offer hermetically sealed IP68/69K protection, integrated surge/lightning protection, and a self-stabilising, anti-rotation mounting system that copes with deck misalignment and vehicle dynamics. Their onboard electronics provide high-resolution digital output (up to 6,000 divisions), continuous diagnostics and stored calibration data, simplifying commissioning, fault-finding and replacement without full recalibration.
Available in typical 20/35/50 t capacities for weighbridges and compatible with leading digital indicators, CPD-M delivers stable results, reduced downtime and lower lifetime cost — exactly why NWI specifies them for dependable, future-ready scales.
Hygienic load cells are purpose-designed for regulated environments where product safety and cleanability are non-negotiable—think food & beverage, dairy, meat/seafood, cosmetics, and pharma.
NWI recommends hygienic load cells for any application where sanitation time, audit readiness, and product integrity drive the business case—mixers and reactors, hoppers and silos, platform scales in high-care rooms, and end-of-line checkweighing.
Our preferred Minebea Intec range (including Contego® and Novego® families) exemplifies these hygienic design principles while offering versatile mounting options for stable results across diverse processes.
