Load Washer Load Cell LTH500

Key Features & Benefits of the Load Washer Load Cell LTH500

• True Through-Hole / Donut Design — allows your load path (fasteners, shafts, rods) to run through the center of the sensor without the need for offset mounting.

• High Capacity Capability — built to handle heavy loads typical in structural, press, or clamp systems.

• Precise Measurement — designed for low nonlinearity, hysteresis, and repeatability to deliver dependable results in real world conditions.

• Strong Construction — made from 17-4 PH stainless steel with solid mechanical design to resist fatigue, off-axis loads, and environmental stress.

• Overload Safety — designed to tolerate transient loads above its rated capacity to protect the sensor from damage.

• Multiple Inner Diameter (I.D.) Options — to suit various bolt/shaft sizes without compromising sensor performance or mechanical design flexibility.

• Environmental Durability — sealed internals and connector or cable variants designed for industrial duty conditions.

• Low Profile & Compact Geometry — integration into assemblies where extra height or bulky packaging is undesirable.

Typical Applications of the Load Washer Load Cell LTH500

• Bolt preload / clamping force measurement

• Inline compression sensing in presses, clamps, or machinery

• Structural test rigs where load must pass through the sensor ring

• OEM systems requiring measurement across a bolt or shaft

• Load monitoring in industrial automation, fixture systems, or safety test setups

Why Choose the Load Washer Load Cell LTH500

• Integrated Through-Hole Sensing — no need for mechanical redirection of the load path, simplifying system design.

• Robust & Accurate — built with industrial materials and design for dependable performance.

• Flexible Sizing Options — multiple inner diameters and capacities to suit your mechanical and load needs.

• Durable Under Stress — capable of withstanding overload conditions and real-world environmental stress.

• Support & Calibration — Metromatics can assist with calibration, matching, mounting guidance, and specification selection.

Ordering & Configuration Advice

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

When selecting an LTH500, you should:

1. Choose the inner diameter (I.D.) that your bolt or shaft requires, so it fits the sensor’s bore seamlessly.

2. Pick a capacity rating that comfortably exceeds your maximum expected load.

3. Decide between connectorized or cable variants based on your system design and maintenance approach.

4. Request calibration / certification if you need traceable performance or matched pairs.

5. Ensure alignment, mounting, and mounting clearance are proper to prevent side load or bending moments on the sensor.
