Design/Technical Features
The LTH500's compact dimensions, light weight, and flexible inner diameter enable seamless integration into space-constrained setups without adding significant bulk to the assembly. The custom full bridge strain gauge and unique monolithic gauge design reduce output errors from extraneous/off-axis loads. Its low power consumption makes it ideal for battery-operated applications or setups where minimizing heat generation is crucial.
A durable 17-4 PH stainless steel construction and operational temperature from -60°F to 200°F (-50°C to 93°C) make it ideal for demanding environments. Its low deflection of 0.002 in (0.05 mm) nominal satisfies applications that require a fast dynamic response. The load cell is RoHS compliant and features a 4-pin micro connector which simplifies installation while enhancing durability and IP rating.
