The LCR16 Bidirectional Load Cell is a compact, high-precision force sensor engineered for accurate measurement in both tension and compression directions. Constructed from robust stainless steel, it ensures long-term durability and consistent performance in demanding environments. Its smart design features optional internal threads in sizes M4, M5, M6, M8, or M10 on both ends, enabling effortless integration into existing mechanical systems without requiring significant structural modifications. Available in a broad range of rated capacities — 10kg, 20kg, 50kg, 100kg, 200kg, 500kg, and 1000kg — the LCR16 is versatile enough to meet the needs of various industrial applications. Whether for light-duty testing or more rigorous force monitoring tasks, it offers reliable and repeatable results across the spectrum.

One of the standout features of the LCR16 is its bidirectional sensing capability, which allows it to measure forces applied in both push (compression) and pull (tension) modes. This makes it a valuable asset in setups that require dynamic force measurement or cycling between load directions. Additionally, its compact size makes it ideal for environments with limited mounting space, ensuring precise force monitoring even in tight assemblies. The LCR16 is designed with versatility in mind and serves as a cost-effective solution for industries looking for a reliable force measurement component that doesn’t compromise on accuracy or strength. For specialized requirements, custom modifications are available—even for small production quantities—making it suitable for OEM integration, R&D testing, or niche industrial uses.

Typical Applications of the LCR16 Tension And Compression Load Cell

• Component Assembly Force Monitoring

In precision assembly lines—especially in automotive, aerospace, or electronics industries—controlling the amount of force used during component insertion, pressing, or fastening is crucial. The LCR16 provides real-time feedback on assembly force, ensuring parts are properly fitted without damage. This reduces defect rates, improves quality control, and enhances traceability across production runs.

• Sim Racing Pedal Force Feedback

The rise of high-end sim racing hardware has increased demand for realistic pedal systems. The LCR16 force detection sensor can be integrated into brake or throttle pedals to monitor force input from the driver, enabling force feedback and fine-tuning of pedal response. Its compact design fits easily into pedal assemblies, making it a top choice for manufacturers and DIY sim racers alike.

• Automated Process Force Control

In manufacturing automation, controlling and monitoring applied force is essential to maintain product quality and equipment safety. The LCR16 is ideal for robotic arms, or press-fit machines, where accurate force feedback helps regulate the pressing, forming, or positioning of materials. Its compatibility with common control systems allows for seamless integration into industrial automation platforms.

• Hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinder Testing

Hydraulic and pneumatic actuators are widely used across industrial applications. The LCR16 force sensing load cell is perfectly suited for measuring the thrust or pulling force generated by these cylinders. This data helps validate system performance, monitor degradation over time, and ensure actuators are functioning within desired force thresholds under real-world conditions.

• Material Fatigue Testing

In R&D and product development environments, it's vital to understand how materials behave under cyclic loads. The LCR16 enables accurate monitoring of repeated tension and compression forces, providing valuable data on how materials degrade under stress. This is especially important for evaluating mechanical components, composites, fasteners, or springs in long-term durability studies.

In conclusion, the LCR16 stainless steel push pull force sensor is a highly adaptable force sensor offering a balance of compact size, wide capacity options, and precise force detection. Whether in simulation, assembly monitoring, or system testing, it delivers reliable performance at an affordable price. With customization services available for specific requirements, the LCR16 stands out as an excellent choice for engineers and manufacturers seeking a scalable and flexible force measurement solution.
