Miniature High Capacity Load Cell 0-1 kN to 0-500 kN

Small Size, High Capacity. 5-Point Calibration Certificate Included. All Stainless Steel Construction. Built-in Load Button for Easy Installation. More

Small in size but not in performance, the LCM307 Series "Top Hat" load cell is designed for applications with minimum space and high capacity loads up to 500,000 Newtons. Rugged all stainless steel construction and high performance strain gauges assure superior linearity and stability.

Temperature compensation is achieved through a miniature circuit board in the load cell’s cable. This unit is designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat surface.

Introduction to Load Cells

A load cell (or loadcell) is a transducer which converts force into a measurable electrical output. Although there are many varieties of force sensors, strain gauge load cells are the most commonly used type.

Except for certain laboratories where precision mechanical balances are still used, strain gauge load cells dominate the weighing industry. Pneumatic load cells are sometimes used where intrinsic safety and hygiene are desired, and hydraulic load cells are considered in remote locations, as they do not require a power supply...
