The diagram below is a good example of closed loop feed back operation. It shows how donut / thru hole load cells and pancake load cells can be used in insertion / press applications for precision assembly during the manufacturing process. The donut / thru hole at the top monitors the required load while the pancake load cell at the bottom checks and verifies the actual load being applied in order to control alignment for smooth insertion.

Products & Services
Load Cells
Load cells are force sensors that often incorporate mechanical packaging to fit into testing and monitoring systems. They can be used for tension, compression, and/or shear measurement, and can be configured to measure force or load along one or more axes. 
Six-axis Force and Torque Sensors
Six-axis force and torque sensors measure the full six components of force and torque: vertical, lateral, and longitudinal forces as well as camber, steer, and torque movements.
Force and Torque Instruments
Force and torque instruments are used to measure force, weight or torque. Some can measure force and torque by changing the sensor / transducer.
Force and Load Sensors
Force and load sensors covers electrical sensing devices used to measure tension, compression, and shear forces.
