S-Beam Tension & Compression Load Cell LSB350

The FUTEK LSB350 is a high-capacity, rugged S-Beam load cell built for both tension and compression measurement in demanding industrial, OEM, or scale applications. With its compact form relative to its force rating, strong materials (aluminum or stainless steel), and robust connectors, it’s ideal where accuracy, durability, and reliability are critical — such as platform scales, silos, or structural load monitoring.

Key Features & Benefits S-Beam Tension & Compression Load Cell LSB350

  • High Capacity Range & Material Options – Available in 500 lb to 1,000 lb in anodised aluminum, and up to 2,000 lb in 17-4 stainless steel for more extreme loads.

  • Compact, Strong Design – Female threads both ends; compact geometry allows installation in constrained spaces.

  • High Accuracy & Low Deflection – Nonlinearity typically ± 0.05 % of rated output (RO), hysteresis ± 0.05 % RO. Nominal deflection is very small (≈ 0.003 in).

  • Durable Construction & Environment Resistance – Materials and finish selected for strength; rated for wide operating temperature (−60 °F to +200 °F / about −50 °C to +93 °C).

  • Reliable Connector System – 4-Pin Micro / Micro Circular connector (CC19) for robust, clean connections.

  • Excellent Overload Protection – Safe overload of 150 % of RO built in.

  • Metal Foil Strain Gauge Technology – Proven sensing technology for stability, repeatability, and accuracy.

Ordering & Customisation Notes

If you would like to learn more about this product, or place an order, please contact us.

When selecting an LSB350, consider specifying:

  1. Exact capacity you require, ensuring safety margin above expected maximum load.

  2. Material choice – aluminum for lighter weight, stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability.

  3. Threading and connector preferences – whether metric or imperial threads, and whether you use cable or connector version.

  4. Environmental or mounting challenges – temperature extremes, moisture, off-axis loads, etc.

  5. Calibration needs – whether you want calibration in tension only or both tension & compression, traceable documentation, etc.
