Application Use
The LSB200 Miniature S-Beam Jr.® Load Cell is a miniature, low-capacity and fatigue rated sensor designed for tension/compression test and measurement applications. LSB200 can be configured with optional accessories such as load plates, buttons, hooks, and thread adapters, delivering seamless integration and adaptability across a range of applications.
Design
The LSB200 is designed for low capacity, high precision applications. Its compact size and light weight allow for easy integration into space-constrained setups without adding significant bulk. It features a flexure made from 2024-T4 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, selected for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance. This material provides the durability needed for applications where weight reduction is critical, without compromising on strength.
The FUTEK LSB line utilizes an S shape design with physical overload protection to dramatically improve durability, precision, and safety. This sensor features a 1000% overload stop for tension and compression, reducing the risk of mechanical breakage by preventing deflection and yield.
This customized version of the LSB200 is engineered to withstand demanding environments, allowing for reliable performance under vibration and shock, meeting stringent industrial and military durability standards.
