Compression Force Measurement Sensor 500kg 200kg 100kg 50kg 20kg 10kg

The LCB05 small disc load cell is a precision-engineered compression force sensor designed for applications where space is extremely limited. Featuring a compact 20mm diameter and only 11mm overall height, this miniature load cell uses a diaphragm-based sensing structure combined with a curved load button on top. This specific design helps ensure that the applied force is directed axially, even in scenarios where there may be slight angular misalignments, which is common in real-world mechanical assemblies.

Rated for capacities ranging from 5kgf to 500kgf, the LCB05 round force sensor is versatile enough for both light and moderate compression measurement tasks. Constructed from durable stainless steel, it is highly resistant to moisture and external environmental factors, making it suitable for industrial environments. The sensor includes four M2.5 threaded holes around the base, allowing it to be easily mounted on flat surfaces using bolts from underneath. This mounting flexibility further enhances its appeal for system integrators working with space-constrained mechanical designs.

At its core, the LCB05 incorporates a 1000-ohm Wheatstone full-bridge circuit, delivering a millivolt-level signal output proportional to the applied force. This high-resistance design reduces power consumption, making the LCB05 load button load cell ideal for low-energy or battery-powered systems. For applications requiring standardized output signals, the sensor can be paired with an external signal amplifier to convert readings into 0-5V, 0-10V, or 4-20mA outputs, ensuring seamless integration with data acquisition systems, PLCs, or digital controllers.

The combination of small footprint, rugged build, and ease of integration makes the LCB05 force sensing load cell a popular choice across a wide range of force measurement applications such as:

• Clamp and Vice Pressure Monitoring
  The LCB05 is perfect for embedding into clamping systems to monitor and maintain consistent pressure during machining, bonding, or part assembly, helping prevent damage to sensitive components.
• Injection Molding Clamping Force Measurement
  In injection molding machines, accurate force monitoring is critical to ensure molds are properly closed and sealed. The LCB05 force sensing sensor provides real-time feedback on clamping pressure, enhancing process stability and product quality.
• Overload Protection in Machinery
  By embedding the LCB05 into mechanical assemblies, engineers can monitor compression forces and trigger safety systems when loads exceed safe thresholds, preventing equipment damage or failure.
• Heat Press Force Feedback
  In applications like textile printing or lamination, maintaining precise pressure is essential. The LCB05 offers accurate force measurement for calibrating and controlling heat press machines, ensuring uniform results.
• Actuator Force Verification
  In robotic and industrial automation systems, actuators often need to apply controlled compression force. The LCB05 validates actuator output force to meet application-specific requirements.
• Load Distribution Analysis
  When analyzing how force is spread across structural components or mechanical platforms, multiple LCB05 force detection sensors can be placed at key points to detect imbalances or stress concentrations.
• Hydraulic Press Monitoring
  Installed beneath the press head or tool surface, the LCB05 compression force transducer provides real-time force data during operation, aiding in quality control and protecting tools and dies from excessive load.

In summary, the LCB05 miniature button load cell offers a powerful combination of precision, durability, and compact design, making it an excellent solution for compressive force measurement in tight and demanding industrial settings. Its adaptability and custom signal output options ensure it fits smoothly into both standard and custom measurement systems.
