High Capacity Load Button with Threaded/Tapped Holes
Extremely accurate, high capacity
Description
Model LLB550 is a Load Button Load Cell with Threaded Mounting Holes built for Press, or Inline compression applications. The standard LLB550 Load Button Load Cell model has a very robust construction available in 17-4 Stainless Steel, with a 3.0” outside diameter and a 10 feet long 24 AWG 4 conductor shielded Teflon cable. You will also find options for external matched output readily available.
The Miniature Load Button Load Cell offers high accuracy. It has Nonlinearity of ±0.5% and Deflection of 0.003” nominal. The standard LLB550 Load Button Load Cell can be modified or customized to meet your requirements and most capacities are in our inventory, making them available for 24-hour shipping.
Product Highlights And Features
- Ultra low deflection
- Robust strain relief
- 17-4 PH stainless-steel construction
- For use in compression
- Utilizes metal foil strain gauge technology
- Includes bottom mounting provisions
With a package that stands at 2.98in (75.7mm) in diameter and 1.5in (38.1mm) in height, the LLB550 Load Button Load Cell is an extraordinarily accurate sensor that punches well above its size with a capacity of 50000lb (22680kg). This diverse and durable sensor solution features three mounting holes built for press or inline compression applications, such as measuring loads on a turbine shaft or gauging forces on a CNC workpiece.
The LLB550 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 wire 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.
The LLB550 is also available in the original design, which features a cable connection with a 26 AWG 4 conductor Teflon cable.
Wide capacity range
LLB550 series offers button load cells in six capacity options that measure compressive loads of 50000lb (22680kg) a remarkable capacity for such a compact package. Three threaded holes allows the part to be securely mounted from the bottom.
Plug in, plug out
The newer version of this series features the 4-position micro receptacle. This gives the load cell greater flexibility and durability, as a damaged or cut cable can now easily be replaced, saving the user time and resources. It also simplifies the installation process, reducing installation time and maximizing up time.
The 4-position micro cable connector is shown here on another sensor model.
Fast response rate
The LLB550 delivers a remarkably high natural frequency (starting above 20kHz) which provides a fast response time that benefits accuracy and cycle time reduction. The precision of the sensor is also augmented by its high stiffness, which leads to a very low deflection of 0.003in (0.07mm).
Low power-consumption
With a 700 bridge resistance, the LLB550 consumes around 50% less current than a traditional load cell. This is especially valuable for any applications that are battery operated or are embedded in tight spaces where heat generation could become an issue.
Designed for precision
The spherical radius of the load button has been designed to maintain the highest possible level of accuracy. By minimizing contact with the loading provisions, the button’s spherical shape transfers the load evenly over the sensing area, compensating for potential misalignments.
Robust construction
The seam-welded stainless steel body provides outstanding strength and corrosion resistance and provides 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.
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, and corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range.
Eliminating moisture
The robust assembly of the 4-position micro receptacle version eliminates moisture ingress through the connection location. With an IP67 rating, the product can withstand submersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. This opens up more options for applications as it will allow outdoor usage in wet, rainy, or highly humid conditions.
Calibration included
The LLB550 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.
