Description

The LCM300 is a multi-dimensional miniature load cell that measures tension and compression loads in endurance, press, and inline applications that require a highly accurate sensor with a small footprint. It’s available in a wide range of capacities that range from 50 lb to 1000 lb [23 – 454 kg]. The standard LCM300 sensor can also be customized to meet your specific requirements. 

 

The LCM300 is now offered with an integrated connector that makes it fully IP67 rated for high water resistance and temporary submersibility. The connectorized 4-position micro receptacle allows you to easily remove the cable from the sensor like a plug from a socket. This new feature protects the sensor from cable damage, as you can easily replace a faulty wire, and it also makes the installation process much easier, as there is no cable to rotate when the sensor is threaded into fixtures.

 

FUTEK can offer custom versions that are rated for vacuum/low outgassing, high or low operating temperatures, radiation environments, autoclavable, and high vibration/shock.
