Threaded In Line Load Cell

Reliable and robust with a high fast response rate
Description
Model LCM550 is an In Line Load Cell built for Endurance, Press, or Inline applications. The standard LCM550 In Line Load Cell model has a very robust construction available in 17-4 Stainless Steel, with male threads on both ends and a 10 feet long 24 AWG 4 conductor shielded PVC cable. You will also find options for external matched output and metric threads readily available. For more capacity options, please see the LCM500 or LCM525.
The In Line Load Cell offers high accuracy and high stiffness. It has Nonlinearity of ±0.2% and Deflection of 0.005” nominal. The standard LCM550 In Line Load Cell can be modified or customized to meet your requirements and most models are in our inventory making them available for 24 hour shipping.
Product Highlights And Features
- Miniature Size
- Fast response and low deflection
- Notable Nonlinearity
- Robust cable strain relief
- For use in both tension and compression
LCM550 is a heavy-duty, 50000lb, high-quality threaded inline load cell for tension and compression applications. The fast response load cell operates reliably over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for various environments. As an IP64-rated device, the load cell has a sealed housing that prevents ingress of dust and water sprays from all directions.
LCM550 is available with a built-in connector that allows easy connection and disconnection and features TEDS auto-recognition of calibration data. Standard LCM550 models come with an integrated braided shielded cable.
Robust construction
The center covers are seam-welded to the sensor body, providing outstanding strength and enhanced protection against physical damage in addition to withstanding other harsh environmental conditions. A special heat treatment process has been applied to the flexure to improve durability, extending the life-cycle of the sensor. It also has a robust cable strain relief for rough environments to protect the cable.
Easy mounting options
The LCM550 has male threads on both ends for easy and flexible mounting options. Also, the compact design allows you to mount it in different locations, including for those applications with limited spaces.

Best-in-class material
The exceptional quality of this sensor makes it highly durable and reliable. Its body is made of aerospace-grade 17-4 precipitation hardened stainless steel, which provides high strength, high hardness, low hysteresis and creep properties, and corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range.

Auto-recognition of calibration data
LCM550 is now offered in a connectorized version that has an automatic recognition of calibration data based on the TEDS IEEE 1451.4. The feature eliminates the slow and erroneous manual entry or configuration, hence saving installation time and money while improving accuracy and performance when paired with electronics that are TEDS compatible.

Calibration included
The LCM550 has been tested by FUTEK’s world-class calibration department and is NIST traceable. We can also reduce hidden costs and setup time by calibrating your sensor with FUTEK electronics of your choice. In addition, we offer calibration to ANSI Z540-1 and ISO 17025 standards upon request.
