Tension and Compression Load Cell

The Tension and Compression Load Cell offers a compact design ideal for low capacity applications. With a height of only 2.27”, the LRF400 Tension and Compression Load Cell is a great selection for tight spaces. The Standard LRF400 Tension and Compression Load Cell model has female/female threads, 2024 Aluminum construction (0.25 gram - 100 lb), and a Lemo Receptacle.

With all of its design features the Tension and Compression Load Cell has a high accuracy with a Nonlinearity of ±0.05%, deflection of 0.005” to 0.008” nominal and an operating temperature of -60° F to 200° F. This 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. Similar to our entire Load Cell product line this model is manufactured in the US and uses metal foil strain gauge technology.

Product Highlights:

• Low Deflection
• 2024 Aluminum Construction
• Built In Overload Protection
• In both Tension & Compression
• 0.25 lb – 100 lb capacity range
• Utilizes Metal Foil Strain Gauge Technology
• Weight: 5 oz

The FUTEK LRF400 Tension and Compression Load Cell, paired with the USB225 High-Resolution USB Digital Signal Conditioner, is an ideal solution for high precision milligram scales. This system offers superior resolution, exceptional sensitivity to detect minute weight variations, and excellent linearity with nonlinearity and hysteresis of ±0.05% of rated output. Its advanced temperature compensation ensures consistent accuracy across a wide temperature range, making it a reliable and robust choice for applications requiring precise and repeatable weight measurements.

For those who are a looking for a complete system solution, FUTEK can provide both signal conditioned displays or our VCal Portable System. FUTEK’s VCal Portable System brings an easy-to-use system verification directly to the customer making it ideal for on-site verification and calibration of your products. FUTEK LRF Series is also available with TEDS / IEEE1451.4 option.
