Miniature S-Beam Load Cell LSB205

The FUTEK LSB205 is the next-generation miniature S-Beam Jr.® load cell engineered for high fatigue life, precision, and rugged performance in both tension and compression. With built-in smart features like TEDS & temperature sensing, this sensor is designed for demanding applications where accuracy and durability really matter.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Fatigue-Rated Construction – Built to withstand high cycle counts, this sensor delivers long-term stability in dynamic or repeated loading environments.

  • Integrated Overload Protection – Offers up to 1800% of Rated Output (RO) in safe overload for lower capacities; strong overload protection across its full capacity range.

  • Smart Sensing Features

    • TEDS (IEEE 1451.4) Chip for auto-recognition and calibration compatibility.

    • PT-1000 Internal Temperature Sensor for real-time temperature compensation.

  • Detachable 7-Pin FUTEK “Quick Disconnect” Nano Receptacle – simplifies wiring, allows quick cable changes, reduces chance of cable damage/mishandling.

  • High Performance & Accuracy – Low nonlinearity, hysteresis, and excellent repeatability make it reliable for precision work.

  • Robust Mechanical Design – Heat-treated 17-4 PH stainless steel flexure improves durability and off-center load resistance. High vibration and shock resistance make it suited for harsh environments.

Ordering Information & Options

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

When you order an LSB205, consider specifying:

  1. Desired capacity (250 g, 1 lb, 2 lb, 5 lb, 10 lb, 25 lb, 50 lb, 100 lb) depending on your maximum force load.

  2. Connection options – Confirm the 7-pin quick-disconnect nano receptacle; get cable / connector accessories if needed.

  3. Environmental conditions – Are there extremes in temperature, vibration, shock, or off-axis loads? Pick a spec that fits with margin.

  4. Calibration / certification requirements – If you need tension & compression calibration, traceability, or special tests.
