The Universal Pancake Load Cell LCP04 is a robust and versatile force transducer designed for high-precision measurement of both tension and compression forces. It features a central threaded thru-hole that allows the load to be applied in both push and pull directions, making it suitable for a wide range of weighing and force measurement tasks. Constructed from high-stiffness alloy steel, the LCP04 employs a dual-diaphragm shear web design, which enhances its resistance to lateral or off-axis loads and ensures long-term reliability even in demanding environments. With a broad rated capacity range from 5 kN up to 500 kN, and optional custom ranges available up to 3000 kN, this load cell is ideal for both static and dynamic applications. It is widely used in material testing machines, structural fatigue testing, and axial force monitoring in laboratory or industrial settings where compactness, durability, and precision are critical. The LCP04 is temperature-compensated to maintain accuracy over a wide temperature range and can be customized with various thread sizes, connector types, cable lengths, and material options to suit different installation needs. This makes it an excellent solution for engineers seeking a highly adaptable and accurate force measurement sensor.
