Model LCF500 is a Pancake Load Cell designed for tension and compression applications. The diaphragm has twelve bolt holes along the outer diameter for easy mounting. The flexure is made of a robust 17-4 Alloy Steel and the capacity ranges from 20,000 lbs to 50,000 lbs, making it ideal for high capacity applications. You will also find options for Metric Threads, Fatigue Rating, and Amplified Version readily available.
The LCF500 Pancake Load Cell offers high accuracy with a Nonlinearity of ±0.1% and Deflection of 0.002” to 0.003” nominal. The standard LCF500 Pancake Load Cell can be modified or customized to meet your requirements and most capacities are in our inventory, making them available for quick delivery. Similar to our entire Load Cell product line this model is manufactured in US and uses metal foil strain gauge technology.
Product Highlights:
Dual Bridge Load Cells, also known as a dual channel load cells are designed to meet the high demands of critical applications in aerospace, medical and others. Equipped with two independent Wheatstone bridges, each fitted with strain gauges, this dual bridge load cell offers unparalleled redundancy and safety features.
With its dual output feature, this load cell not only provides control feedback from one sensor but also allows for data acquisition from the other, ensuring continuous and reliable force measurement and control. Additionally, dual channel load Cels are calibrated to the highest standards of accuracy, with NIST traceable calibration and A2LA accreditation to ISO 17025.
FUTEK’s dual bridge load cell meets high levels of SIL (Safety Integrity Levels) or PL (Performance Levels), making it the ideal choice for applications where safety and reliability are of utmost importance. Its redundancy feature ensures that even in the event of a failure in one of the bridges, the load cell will continue to provide accurate load readings and maintain control over the application.
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 LCF Series is also available with TEDS / IEEE1451.4 option.
