Submersible Force And Torque Sensor IP68 Biaxial Load Cell

The LCM2E two-component load cell from LCS Tech is a precision-engineered measurement solution designed to deliver dependable force and torque data in demanding subsea conditions. As a compact and rugged submersible force torque sensor, it is purpose-built for applications where exposure to water, pressure, and long operating cycles would compromise conventional sensing devices. Its slim profile allows seamless integration into confined assemblies while maintaining exceptional mechanical strength and long-term reliability.

Manufactured from premium-grade stainless steel, the LCM2E features a fully sealed construction certified to IP68, ensuring complete protection against water ingress. This robust design enables continuous operation at depths of up to 15 meters for periods of up to 65 hours without loss of accuracy or signal integrity. The sensor is therefore well suited for prolonged underwater tests, monitoring tasks, and experimental deployments where maintenance access is limited or impossible.

Functionally, the LCM2E operates as an advanced underwater biaxial load cell, capable of capturing both axial force and torsional torque simultaneously. It supports axial loads of up to 65 kN and torque levels reaching 5 kNm, allowing it to handle demanding mechanical loads typically encountered in marine systems and underwater propulsion mechanisms. This dual-measurement capability reduces system complexity by eliminating the need for multiple separate sensors.

To ensure reliable data output, the internal mechanical structure has been carefully optimized. Channel interference between force and torque measurements is controlled to less than 0.5% of full scale, resulting in high measurement accuracy, excellent repeatability, and outstanding signal stability. These characteristics make the LCM2E a dependable submersible 2-axis force sensor for applications requiring precise and synchronized load monitoring.

The LCM2E is particularly valuable in scenarios where traditional load cells are impractical due to size constraints, sealing limitations, or harsh environmental exposure. Typical applications include marine engineering systems, underwater test rigs, propulsion and thrust analysis, and experimental research setups that demand compact yet high-performance sensing solutions. As a high-integrity torque thrust load cell, it supports engineers and researchers in obtaining accurate data under real-world operating conditions.

Beyond the product itself, LCS Tech brings extensive experience in force and torque measurement technologies. Customers benefit from professional engineering support, application-specific customization, and proven technical expertise. This combination ensures that each sensing solution not only meets, but exceeds, the performance and durability requirements of challenging underwater projects.
