3-axis Load Cell IP67 Multi-axis Sensor 0-50kg

The Triaxial Load Cell LCM3A is an advanced, high-performance force sensor designed to measure forces along three perpendicular axes simultaneously: Fx, Fy, and Fz. Crafted from durable stainless steel, the LCM3A offers both robustness and precision, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. The sensor's flange-to-flange design facilitates easy and secure mounting, ensuring stable performance even in dynamic environments.

One of the standout features of the LCM3A is its bellows housing, which is welded to the sensor body to achieve an IP67 protection rating. This means that the sensor is highly resistant to dust and water ingress, ensuring reliable operation in challenging environments. However, the stress from the welding process can affect the zero output of the sensor and result in some creep along the Z-axis, which may cause slight deviations in measurements. Despite this, the LCM3A remains a highly accurate and versatile sensor for most applications.

The LCM3A 3-axis sensor is available in multiple rated capacities of 5kg, 10kg, 20kg, and 50kg, allowing it to cater to a variety of force measurement needs. It is capable of measuring both tension and compression forces, making it versatile enough for different testing scenarios. What sets the LCM3A apart from other load cells is its ability to measure forces in all three axes simultaneously without the need for complex mathematical manipulation. This makes it easier to collect reliable data and reduce the time spent on data processing.

To further enhance its functionality, the LCM3A multi-axis load cell can be paired with either an analog or digital amplifier. The analog amplifier offers output options of -5V to 5V, 0V to 10V, or 4mA to 20mA, while the digital amplifier provides RS485 or RS232 interfaces for more advanced signal processing and integration with control systems. These flexible output options allow the LCM3A to be easily incorporated into various industrial control systems, providing seamless integration for force measurement tasks. Typical applications of the LCM3A triaxial load cell:

• Robotics: The LCM3A is used extensively in robotics for force feedback and to ensure that robots apply the correct amount of force during tasks such as assembly, welding, or material handling. Its ability to measure forces across three axes simultaneously is essential for precise control in robotic applications.
• Material Testing: Model LCM3A is valuable for testing structural components and materials. Its precise force measurement capabilities allow engineers to assess the strength and performance of components under various load conditions, ensuring they meet stringent safety standards.
• Automotive Testing: The automotive industry also benefits from the LCM3A's ability to measure forces in three directions. It is often used in testing crash simulations, suspension systems, and engine components, where accurate force measurements are crucial for designing safe and high-performing vehicles.
• Medical Research: The LCM3A is increasingly used in medical research, especially in biomechanics and prosthetics testing. It helps measure the forces applied during tests involving human motion or the performance of medical devices, ensuring that products meet the required specifications and standards.

With its ability to measure forces in three directions simultaneously and its flexibility in terms of output and capacity, the LCM3A 3-axis Load Cell is an invaluable tool for precision testing and monitoring in a variety of demanding environments. Its durability, high performance, and easy integration make it an excellent choice for industries and applications that require reliable, multi-axis force measurement.
