Force Transducers for Maximum Precision

In Force Measurement we set the Standards


Force measurement technology and force transducers from GTM set the standard when it comes to the precise measurement of forces of all sizes. Load cells from GTM are regarded as the benchmark for precision and technology - from force transducers for precise force measurement of small tensile and compressive forces, for example in plastics or medical technology, to force test benches in component testing and mechanical engineering, through to dynamic force measurement in the automotive and aviation industries. Also with respect to leading force transfer standards GTM is your competent partner for mobile and stationary calibration of force measurement equipment and test benches, from factory standards to reference standards, and even calibration and traceability to the national force standard.

Put together your individual force transducer from the wide range of GTM options. Our experts will provide direct and immediate assistance with planning, design, installation and commissioning - always with the goal of providing a suitable and efficient force transducer solution for your force measurement application without compromising on quality, performance and precision.

Designed for Maximum Precision
Force Transducers for Reliable Measurement Results

All GTM force transducers are characterized by outstanding precision and minimal margins of error across the entire force measurement range. In many cases, this saves you having to purchase a second force transducer. All GTM force transducers are exceptionally insensitive to parasitic influences such as shear forces, bending moments, torsional moments or temperature fluctuations.

Particularly noteworthy here are the K series force transducers, which are exceptionally insensitive to the influence of parasitic forces and torques thanks to the bending ring principle. For all force transducers and measuring cables, GTM relies on high-quality connection cables exclusively in 6-wire design.

Designed for your Application
Perfect force Transducers for Static and Dynamic Applications

Most GTM load cells are perfectly suited for static and dynamic applications: Their measuring paths are very small and their rigidity are correspondingly high - an important prerequisite for high resonance frequencies, especially in dynamic applications and heavy mounting components.

The DR, K and RF series force transducers are particularly noteworthy here. They can be used to cover a wide range of static and dynamic applications with only one transducer.

Designed for Metrology & Traceability
Force Transfer Standards and Reference Transducers

Our “best-in-class” force transfer standards are the best the market has to offer in terms of precision in metrological traceability and have established themselves as a standard at many international metrological institutes - for over 20 years in use, always precise and constantly evolving. The KTN-D series even exceeds the ISO376 standard many times over and thus measures at the physical limit.

Your Best-In-Class Partner
Development and Production in Germany and Europe

All GTM development takes place in Germany. This also applies to customizing and OEM. The force transducers are produced in Germany and Europe. This means you can rely on a secure and reliable supply chain - developed and produced in Europe.
