Micro Parallelogram Load Cell LSM 100

The Micro Parallelogram Load Cell LSM 100 is one of the smallest, precision micro parallelogram load cells in FUTEK’s OEM portfolio. Featuring ultra-low profile, high sensitivity, and built-in overload protection, it’s designed for applications where space is at a premium but measurement accuracy cannot be compromised. Ideal for both tension and compression loads, the LSM100 is optimized for medical, industrial, and embedded systems.

Key Features & Benefits Micro Parallelogram Load Cell LSM 100

  • Ultra-Low Profile – Total height of just ~0.25 in (6.4 mm), making it suitable for very compact mounting or constrained spaces.

  • Capacity & Overload Protection – Rated at 450 g with a 1000% safe overload margin, providing durability against accidental over-loading.

  • Good Output & Zero Balance – Nominal output ~3 mV/V, zero balance ~1.6 mV/V; ensures measurable sensitivity while maintaining stability.

  • Material & Build – Made from 2024-T4 aluminum, serial number laser-engraved, RoHS compliant. Compact, rugged design with a micro parallelogram configuration.

  • Cable & Connector – Supplied with a 4-conductor flat flex cable (1 mm pitch), ~2.5 in long; lightweight and OEM-friendly interconnect.

  • Temperature & Environmental Range – Operating roughly -60 °F to +200 °F (≈ -51 °C to +93 °C); temperature compensated range ~60-160 °F (≈ 15-71 °C).

  • High Accuracy & Repeatability – Nonlinearity ±0.05% of rated output (RO), hysteresis ±0.05% RO; non-repeatability ~±0.02% RO.

Ordering & Configuration Options

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

When selecting an LSM100, consider specifying:

  1. Mounting provisions – the non-loading end has mounting holes; ensure compatible fixture.

  2. Cable length or alternative cable type if needed.

  3. Environmental conditions – if operating near temperature limits or in harsh environment, check temperature compensation and insulation.

  4. Calibration or zero-balance requirements as needed for your instrumentation.
