Low profile load cells are basically compression and tension/compression load cells. Mounting holes and female threads provide easy installation. Used frequently in weighing research and in-line force monitoring.

The LCHD is also available in metric configurations, with ranges from 0-2.5 to 0-10,000 kgf and metric threads. Please see the LCMHD for complete details, or contact our Pressure department for more information.

What is the maximum allowable torque due to side load on the load cell, while measuring compression load?

Asked by: James1234
It sounds like what you are looking for is the maximum allowable bending moment due to a side load. Although it may vary depending on the load cell capacity most ranges should be able to handle 25% of capacity in inch pounds. For example, a LCHD-2k, with a capacity of 2000 pounds, would be able to withstand a bending moment of 500 inch pounds. I hope this answers your question but if not I would suggest that you call and speak directly with one of the engineers in the Pressure and Strain department.

Where can I find thread information for the tension plates? Or specifically this tension plate LCHD-TP488

Asked by: Neal406
Emailing you a link to the engineering control drawing for the LCHD tension plates. You should look specifically at the 20,000 to 50,000 lb range dimensions

Do you sell a device that connects to and digitally reads the output?

Asked by: Maroon
Yes, Our IN-USBH will convert the 3 mV/V analog signal from the load cell to a high speed USB output

What is the electrical rating? I need Explosion proof or equivalent.

Asked by: KenO
The standard LCHD does not have any explosion proof ratings. If you search our website for Intrinsically Safe, Ultra Low Profile Load Cells you will find a FM Intrinsically Safe Rated version on the LCHD load cells

What is the frequency response of the load cell?

Asked by: ME Engineer
Thank you for your inquire. Even though these load cells can not be used for dynamic application. They do have a fast response of 3 Milli seconds

What is the ingress protection rating on these cells? I need IP67 or better.

Asked by: Testing123
Thank you for your inquiry, we don’t have an IP rating for this model, if you’re in need of a sensor that meets the IP67 specifications please see our model LSHD.

Can I operate the load cell in a vacuum?

Asked by: Garett
Hi, you cannot use the LCHD series load cells in vacuum due to out-gassing issues. We nonetheless, can customize the load cell by drilling a hole through the body till the region where strain gauges are adhered and vacuum the air inside the load cell. You must then be able to use it. This will be a custom part. If you would like please provide the load range and email our Tech Support engineer back for a quote. Thanks.
