IP68 Hermetically Sealed Tension Compression Load Cell for Outdoor Applications

The LCS14 is an IP68 hermetically sealed tension compression load cell developed for dependable force measurement in outdoor and demanding industrial environments. Manufactured from durable stainless steel, this stainless steel S type load cell is designed to withstand exposure to moisture, dust, and changing environmental conditions while maintaining stable measurement performance. Proven strain gauge technology provides accurate bidirectional force measurement, with eight rated capacity options from 50kg to 5000kg, including 50kg, 100kg, 200kg, 500kg, 1t, 2t, 3t, and 5t. This broad capacity range allows the sensor to be selected according to different load measurement requirements.

The fully sealed construction makes the LCS14 a hermetically sealed load cell suitable for applications where protection against water and environmental contamination is essential. With IP68-rated sealing, it offers a high level of resistance to dust and water ingress, making it particularly well suited to outdoor weighing equipment and installations exposed to rain or humidity. The temperature-compensated design helps minimize measurement variations caused by changes in ambient temperature, supporting consistent force readings during extended operation.

Featuring a classic S-beam configuration, the sensor has threaded mounting points at both ends for convenient connection to the load or supporting structure. Eye bolts, threaded rods, hooks, and other compatible fittings can be used to create different installation arrangements. This practical mechanical design simplifies integration into weighing and force measurement systems while allowing both pulling and pushing loads to be measured.

The LCS14 can serve as a hopper load cell in bulk material weighing systems and is also suitable for industrial weighing scales, outdoor weighing equipment, structural load monitoring, material testing machines, tensile and compression testing, force monitoring, and industrial automation. As a waterproof tension load cell, it provides a robust solution for installations where water exposure and environmental durability are important considerations. The combination of stainless steel construction, IP68 protection, temperature compensation, and flexible mounting makes the LCS14 a dependable IP68 S-beam load cell for long-term outdoor and industrial force measurement.
