Single Point load cells are are a very popular choice given their high accuracy and high reliability. They are also known as “platform load cells” or "parallelogram load cells" as this is their most common application. Platform Load Cells are typically used in low-capacity compact OEM force measurement systems.
Single point load cells are unique in that they can accept an off-center load (aka extraneous loads or off-axis loads), which means that it can accurately measure forces and loads that are not well centralized in the measuring point, therefore, allowing them to be highly precise in industrial applications.
The LSM305 High Accuracy OEM Single Point Load Cell also known as the Single Point Force Sensor offers an impressive lightweight and compact design with an easy side mounting feature making it ideal for embedded and OEM.
Utilized in both Tension and Compression, the Precision Load Cell has a length of 1.86”, width of 0.50” and with a height of 1.3” it is well suited for any tight spaces.
