The LCM06 3D Load Cell is a compact and high-precision sensor specifically designed for multi-dimensional force measurement. Constructed from robust stainless steel, it features a flange-to-flange design that ensures secure, stable, and straightforward mounting. This structural innovation not only enhances mechanical integration but also maintains alignment accuracy, making it ideal for critical measurement applications where precision and reliability are paramount.
Available in rated capacities of 5kg, 10kg, 20kg, and 50kg, the LCM06 triaxial load cell is engineered to measure forces in both tension and compression, offering flexibility in environments with dynamic or bidirectional loading. Its strength lies in its ability to capture simultaneous force readings along three orthogonal axes (Fx, Fy, Fz) without requiring vector calculations or signal conversion, delivering real-time, direct output for ease of interpretation and system integration.
Each axis within the LCM06 multi-axis sensor is equipped with an independent strain gauge bridge, providing a clean and accurate electrical output that represents the applied force. For added compatibility, this load cell can be paired with analog signal amplifiers offering -5-5V, 0-10V, or 4~20mA outputs, as well as digital amplifiers supporting RS485 or RS232 communications. These options ensure the LCM06 can be effortlessly integrated into PLCs, DAQs, and industrial control systems, making it suitable for both development and production environments.
