High Capacity Load Cell offered with USB Output

FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology, Inc.: The LSB600 S-Beam Load Cell is a high capacity tension and compression transducer with a wide capacity, ranging from 10,000 lbs to 25,000 lbs. This new module is offered with USB output as an additional option. With the USB option, Engineers can eliminate the need for an analog amplifier, power supply, and display equipment, making usage that much easier. The plug and play functionality gives you the power and ease to monitor the output of a sensor and enjoy measurement and are less affected by noise, temperature variation or power supply requirement. The USB integration also includes FUTEK’s USB Software which allows users to monitor the output of the Sensor in real time.

This particular S-Beam Load Cell is unique since it offers a compact and robust design with a high accuracy and nonlinearity of +/-0.1%, minimal deflection of 0.007 inches, and an operating temperature of -60° F to 200° F. The Standard LSB600 S-Beam Load Cell model has female threads that are available in M36 and 1 ¼ sizes. This load cell utilizes Metal Foil Strain Gage technology and the sensing body is made from high quality 17-4ph Stainless Steel.

FUTEK’s High Capacity S-Beam Load Cell is exceptional because of its small compact size compared to its high capacity range. Measuring at 3 ¾ inches tall and weighing 7 lbs. makes this sensor perfect for applications involving limited space with high capacity requirements. This specific load cell also comes with a connector protector which acts as a safeguard for your connector providing customer assurance from the product being easily damaged. The LSB600 is also available with IEEE1451.4 TEDs, USB output option, and dual (redundant) bridges.

The LSB600 High Capacity Load Cell is perfect for platforms, silos, material testing, press insertion stands, cranes and is specifically designed for use inline with actuator and control systems to provide force feedback. The S-Beam load cell may be used for both compression and tension applications. They may also be used in-line or end mounted or a combination of both.
