1. A power pack removably loadable into a compartment of a surgical fastener applier, the power pack having a first motor and a first engagement member removably engageable with a firing mechanism within the housing of the surgical fastener applier when the power pack is loaded into the compartment, the first engagement member movable axially in response to rotation of a first screw operatively connected to the first motor, and a thrust bearing limits axial movement of the first screw, wherein linear movement of the first engagement member effects movement of the firing mechanism from the first position to the second position, and a first load cell is engageable by the thrust bearing to measure a force during firing.
