IP68 Hermetic Compression Force Load Cell 0-100 ton

The LCB11 is a high-performance waterproof button load cell engineered for precise compressive force measurement across a wide range of industrial and outdoor environments. Manufactured from durable stainless steel, the LCB11 offers ten selectable rated capacities, including 500 kg, 1 t, 2.5 t, 5 t, 10 t, 15 t, 20 t, 30 t, 50 t, and 100 t, providing exceptional flexibility for both medium- and high-capacity force-measurement applications. Its robust construction and long-term stability make it an ideal choice for engineers and system integrators seeking a compact but powerful measurement solution.

At the core of the LCB11 is advanced strain-gauge technology combined with a precision-machined diaphragm structure. This structural design ensures remarkable sensitivity and repeatability even under heavy loading. The load cell features a convex load button located at the top center of the transducer. This critical design element compensates for small mechanical misalignments, ensuring that force is applied accurately to the sensing element. As a result, the LCB11 maintains consistent linearity and reliability, even in demanding environments where ideal load alignment cannot always be guaranteed.

Built to withstand the toughest conditions, the LCB11 is a fully sealed hermetic load cell, rated to IP68. Its hermetically welded stainless-steel housing prevents moisture, dust, and contaminants from entering the sensor, enabling it to perform reliably in wet, dusty, or washdown-intensive settings. Whether installed outdoors, submerged, or exposed to corrosive industrial atmospheres, the LCB11 IP68 compression load cell keeps operating with long-term stability and minimal drift.

For applications requiring seamless integration with automation or PLC-based control systems, the LCB11 can be customized with an internal amplifier. Available output options include 0–5 V, 0–10 V, and 4–20 mA, eliminating the need for external signal conditioning hardware and simplifying installation. This integrated design enhances reliability, reduces wiring complexity, and allows the load cell to be used directly in closed-loop force-control systems.

The versatility of the LCB11 makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial tasks. Its small footprint, rugged sealing, and high accuracy allow it to function effectively in both mobile and stationary machinery. Engineers value the sensor for its combination of strength, environmental resistance, and measurement precision.

Typical applications of the LCB11 waterproof button load cell include:

• Hydraulic press force monitoring – delivering real-time feedback for forming, stamping, and high-force compression processes.
• Injection molding clamping force measurement – ensuring molds close with the correct pressure to improve product quality and machine protection.
• Sheet metal forming force control – supporting bending, punching, and progressive-die operations where force accuracy is critical.
• Tank and hopper weighing systems – providing stable and accurate load readings even in outdoor or washdown conditions.
• Structural load assessment – measuring compressive loads in beams, foundations, and temporary supports during testing or construction.

Combining rugged construction, precision performance, and flexible output options, the LCB11 hermetic load cell sets a new standard in reliable force measurement for industrial, laboratory, and field applications.
