Electric anchor load cells are designed for direct measurement of forces acting on tie rods, anchors, and support systems, enabling continuous control of the stress state in geotechnical and structural works. The sensor’s body, toroidal in shape, is installed along the load path between the bearing plate and the anchoring system, allowing precise detection of load variations over time, both during testing phases and throughout service life. Strain gauge technology, arranged in a Wheatstone bridge configuration, ensures accurate and stable measurement, compensating for possible effects due to eccentric loading and providing high reliability even under complex operating conditions. Thanks to robust construction, high protection rating, and the availability of different dimensional configurations and measurement ranges, GESTECNO load cells represent a versatile and reliable solution for monitoring tie rods and anchors in all types of structures.
