Push Pull Force Sensor 5N Micro Force Transducer 10N

The LCS02 Micro Force Sensor is one of the most in-demand sensors in our product lineup, highly valued for its ultra-compact size, excellent precision, and ability to measure both tension and compression forces. Specifically designed for applications where space and weight are at a premium, the LCS02 combines versatility, durability, and high sensitivity, making it an ideal choice for engineers, researchers, and developers working in precision-focused fields. This miniature Jr. S-beam load cell features M3 tapped holes on each end, allowing users to easily attach threaded rods, hooks, load buttons, or eye bolts depending on the measurement setup. Whether you're pulling, pushing, or monitoring dynamic force changes, the LCS02 adapts quickly to various testing environments.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and built on proven strain gauge technology, the LCS02 force sensing load cell is available in two rated capacities: 5N and 10N. It delivers a non-linearity better than 0.1% of full scale, ensuring repeatable, high-accuracy measurements for both compression and tension. This performance level makes it well-suited for low-force applications where accuracy and sensitivity are critical. With dimensions of just 19.1mm x 17mm x 6.8mm and a weight of approximately 35 grams, including a 4-meter-long cable, the LCS02 force detection sensor is designed for seamless integration into space-constrained or weight-sensitive setups. Its compactness does not compromise its strength, making it a robust and reliable solution for continuous or short-term testing.

To support specific industry needs, customization services for the LCS02 are also available, even for small OEM batches. Whether it's adapting the thread type, adjusting signal outputs, or fine-tuning the housing, LCS02 can be tailored for unique applications while maintaining cost efficiency.

Typical Applications of the LCS02 Micro Force Load Cell

• Spring Tension and Compression Testing: The LCS02 push pull force sensor is commonly used to test micro-springs or delicate mechanical components, measuring both extension and compression forces. Its high resolution helps engineers and quality control teams verify spring constants and loading behavior in real time.
• Connector Plug and Pull Force Measurement: Ensuring that electrical connectors are neither too loose nor too tight is critical. The LCS02 helps manufacturers evaluate the insertion and extraction forces of plug-in connectors, ensuring consistent assembly quality and user satisfaction.
• Touchscreen Pressure Sensitivity Analysis: Used in touchscreen development and calibration, the LCS02 measures how much force is applied to the surface. This is especially important in designing sensitive or pressure-responsive screens for consumer electronics and medical devices.
• Haptic Feedback Systems: In advanced haptic technologies, such as VR controllers or robotic interfaces, the LCS02 helps measure the force feedback delivered to the user. Its compact size and precision make it ideal for capturing tactile interactions and translating them into digital feedback.
• Slip Meter Systems: The LCS02 is employed in slip resistance (coefficient of friction) testers, where it measures the force needed to initiate or maintain motion between two surfaces. This is essential for evaluating floor safety, footwear performance, or industrial coatings.
• Button Press Force Analysis: The sensor is ideal for evaluating actuation force in buttons and keypads. Manufacturers can use it to determine the required pressure to engage a switch, helping in the ergonomic design and quality control of consumer electronics and industrial control panels.
• Microswitch Actuation Testing: In microswitch quality assurance, the LCS02 mini force transducer is used to measure the exact force at which the switch activates or deactivates. This ensures consistent performance and longevity, particularly in critical applications like medical devices and aerospace control systems.
• Educational and Lab Experiments: Due to its simplicity and precision, the LCS02 is an excellent tool in educational settings for teaching force measurement concepts in physics or engineering labs. Its compact form and low-force range make it safe and accessible for student use.

In conclusion, the LCS02 Micro Force Measurement Sensor delivers a powerful combination of compact design, bidirectional force sensing, and high accuracy, making it a versatile solution for numerous low-force measurement applications. Its adaptability to different mechanical configurations and support for OEM customization ensure it meets the diverse needs of industries ranging from consumer electronics to biomedical engineering and academic research.
