Compact Load Cell To Replace LCM200 Futek FSH03904 FSH03905

The LCRD is a lightweight miniature threaded in-line load cell engineered to deliver accurate tension compression force cell measurements in compact assemblies. With a diameter of only 20.3 mm and an installed height of just 5 mm, this force measurement sensor provides an ultra-low-profile solution, ideal for applications where space is limited. Its small form factor allows engineers to incorporate reliable force sensing into assemblies without significantly affecting the overall dimensions. This makes the LCRD perfect for environments where maintaining a minimal footprint is essential while achieving precise measurement performance.

Featuring 3/8-24 UNF-2A x 0.4 male threads, the LCRD enables simple and secure integration into inline force measurement systems. The threaded configuration ensures stable mounting with minimal impact on assembly size, making it a practical lightweight load cell for applications that demand precise force feedback with low added mass. This compact design is particularly beneficial in dynamic systems, where minimizing inertia and maintaining system responsiveness is critical for accurate results.

Constructed from durable stainless steel, the LCRD force feedback load cell offers high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. It is available in 500 lb and 1000 lb rated capacities, providing flexibility for a wide range of tension and compression force cell applications. Its versatile design also allows it to function as a rod end force sensor, seamlessly integrating into mechanical linkages, actuators, and other assemblies requiring compact, accurate force measurement.

The sensor's column-style detection structure delivers exceptional stiffness and stability, resulting in a high natural frequency and a minimal rated deformation of 0.05 mm. These properties make it suitable for both static and dynamic force measurement tasks, ensuring consistent and repeatable readings under varying loads. High stiffness minimizes deflection and maximizes measurement reliability, making the LCRD ideal for applications that demand precision, responsiveness, and durability.

In addition to its performance benefits, the LCRD serves as a cost-effective alternative to the Futek LCM200 load cell. It provides similar measurement accuracy while offering a more economical option for inline force measurement systems. The combination of compact size, threaded mounting, and robust performance allows the LCRD to be integrated into both new designs and retrofitted systems with ease.

For projects requiring unique dimensions, force ranges, or structural modifications, LCS TECH works closely with customers to develop fully customized solutions. Whether deployed as a miniature threaded in-line load cell, mini force cell, or rod end force sensor, the LCRD force detection sensor can be tailored to meet specific integration and performance requirements, ensuring reliable, precise, and efficient force measurement in diverse industrial applications.
