Force Measurement Sensor 0-500N Miniature Force Transducer

The LCS07 Miniature Force Measurement Sensor is a compact, high-precision force sensor designed for tension and compression measurement in applications with tight mounting constraints. Engineered from stainless steel and built on proven strain gauge technology, the LCS07 delivers exceptional durability, repeatability, and accuracy in both laboratory and industrial settings.

With rated capacities of 10N, 20N, 50N, 100N, 200N, and 500N, the LCS07 force sensing load cell provides the flexibility needed for a wide range of low-force applications. It boasts a non-linearity of better than 0.1% of full scale, ensuring consistent performance in critical environments. This makes it ideal for precise, bi-directional force measurements—both pushing and pulling—where data integrity is paramount.

The sensor's ultra-compact design and lightweight construction make it one of the most popular load cells in its class. Measuring just a few centimeters in length and weighing only a few dozen grams, the LCS07 can be seamlessly integrated into space-constrained equipment without compromising performance. It features M3 or M4 threaded holes on each end, allowing users to easily attach threaded rods, eye bolts, hooks, load buttons, or custom fixtures, making it adaptable to a wide variety of force-testing configurations.

Thanks to its robust construction and versatile mounting options, the LCS07 force feedback sensor is particularly well-suited for industries such as medical devices, robotics, product design, material testing, and electronics manufacturing. In addition to the standard configurations, custom designs and modifications are available to accommodate unique measurement requirements—even for small production quantities.

Typical Applications of the LCS07 Miniature Force Sensor:
1. Wire Tension Measurement
Used in wire drawing, cable winding, or textile production, the LCS07 accurately monitors the tension in fine wires or filaments, ensuring consistent material quality and preventing breakage or deformation during processing.

2. Hardness Testers
In durometer or penetration hardness testers, the LCS07 measures the force required to press into a material, aiding in the characterization of soft materials such as rubber, foam, or thin plastics. Its compact size allows it to be embedded into handheld or benchtop testing systems.

3. Robotics Force Feedback
Robotic systems require accurate force sensing for tasks like gripping, assembly, or human-robot interaction. The LCS07 compact force transducer provides real-time force feedback in robot arms, enabling safer and more precise manipulation of objects.

4. Insertion and Withdrawal Testing
Used for evaluating connector mating forces, such as USB, power plugs, or medical tubing, the LCS07 push pull force sensor tracks the insertion and extraction forces required to join or disconnect components. This helps manufacturers ensure durability, usability, and compliance with industry standards.

5. Slip Resistance (COF) Testing
In tribology labs and quality assurance departments, the LCS07 is used in Coefficient of Friction (COF) testers to determine how easily two surfaces slide against each other. It provides precise horizontal force measurements required for safety and material performance validation.

6. Syringe Push Force Verification
In medical device testing, especially with syringes and infusion pumps, the LCS07 can measure the force needed to push or pull a plunger. This helps verify that medical tools function within safe and comfortable force ranges for end users.

7. Medical Simulator Feedback Systems
The LCS07 micro tension compression load cell can be embedded into dental or surgical simulators to simulate the feel of tissue or bone during procedures. It provides force feedback to students and professionals, improving training outcomes through realistic interaction.

8. Ergonomic Design Validation
Product designers use the LCS07 to evaluate user-applied forces on handheld devices, tools, or controls. This supports the development of ergonomically optimized products by measuring how much force users apply under natural conditions.

9. Miniature Actuator Thrust Testing
In micro-actuation systems, Model LCS07 measures thrust forces in linear actuators, servos, or stepper motors, ensuring performance meets design specifications. It plays a critical role in R&D and functional testing for compact motion systems.

In conclusion, the LCS07 Miniature Tension Compression Load Cell is a powerful and flexible solution for a wide range of precision force measurement needs. Its small size, high accuracy, and dual-direction capability make it ideal for applications where space, sensitivity, and performance are critical. Whether you're working in research, product development, medical simulation, or automation, the LCS07 delivers consistent and reliable results—and with customization options available, it can be tailored to meet even the most specialized force-sensing challenges.
