MODEL LCF550 Pancake Load Cell – High Capacity

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of the FUTEK Model LCF550 Pancake Load Cell, designed for high-capacity load measurement in both tension and compression.

Features: The load cell features a low profile design and is constructed from 17-4 stainless steel. It utilizes metal foil strain gauge technology, making it suitable for both tension and compression applications.

Specifications:

Performance: Nonlinearity and hysteresis are both ±0.2% of Rated Output (RO), with nonrepeatability at ±0.02% of RO.
Electrical: The rated output is 4 mV/V nominal, with a maximum excitation of 20 VDC or VAC. The bridge resistance is 350 Ohm nominal, and insulation resistance is ≥500 MOhm at 50 VDC. Connection is via a 6 Pin BENDIX Receptacle.
Mechanical: The load cell weighs approximately 25 lb (11.3 kg) and can safely overload up to 150% of RO. It has a nominal deflection of 0.002 inches (0.05 mm) and an IP rating of IP64.
Temperature: Operating temperature ranges from -60 to 200°F (-50 to 93°C), with compensated temperature between 60 to 160°F (15 to 72°C). Temperature shift zero is ±0.001% of RO/°F, and temperature shift span is ±0.002% of Load/°F.
Calibration: Standard calibration involves a 5-point compression test with a shunt calibration value of 30 kOhm.

Dimensions and Capacities: The document includes detailed dimensions and capacities for different item numbers, with a natural frequency of 8300 Hz and thread specifications of 1 3/4-12-2B.

Connection Details: The BENDIX 6-PIN connection includes color-coded pin descriptions for excitation, signal, and TEDS data.
