FUTEK’s LSM100 Micro Parallelogram Load Cell is designed for applications where limited space and off-center loading must be solved together. Its parallelogram bending beam design excels in shear force measurement under both tension and compression. With a low profile of 0.3 in (8 mm) simplifies integration into tight assemblies, while load capacities from 5 to 50 lb (~22.2 N to 222.4 N), combined with 150% safe overload protection, make it suitable for a wide range of applications such as precision mass monitoring, wire bond testing, pill weighing and capsule filling, batching systems, counting scales, and food processing. Integrated mounting provisions ensure precise alignment and straightforward mechanical integration into surrounding structures. Designed for high-volume, continuous use, the LSM100 is well suited for OEM applications where space, repeatability, and fast assembly are critical.

A compact form factor measuring 0.3 inches in height and 0.22 inches in width, combined with a weight of just 5.6 g, helps target applications requiring ultra-small footprints.

Detachable 6-pin FFC/FPC connector simplifies cable connection, disconnection, and replacement without sensor or system disassembly, reducing downtime and improving system availability.

Proprietary parallelogram cantilever design ensures accurate, repeatable, and reliable measurements.

Integrated IEEE 1451.4 TEDS autorecognition provides information about a sensor’s sensitivity and excitation range, reducing setup time and minimizing configuration errors.
