Miniature S-Beam Load Cells – LSB200

The FUTEK LSB200 is a precision, low-capacity S-Beam Jr.® load cell, engineered for accurate tension and compression measurement where space is at a premium. Its miniature size, high sensitivity, and robust performance make it well suited to applications such as medical devices, feedback control, bag weighing, and other OEM uses. This sensor offers excellent accuracy and overload protection in an ultra-compact form.

Key Benefits

  • Compact Form Factor – Standing just 0.75 in (≈ 19.05 mm) tall, with a small footprint (≈ 0.26 in × 0.69 in) to fit into tight mounts or assemblies.

  • Optimised for Low Capacities – Capacity range from as little as 10 g up to 250 g (≈ 0.10 to 2.5 N) for the lighter models; some versions extend to several kgs.

  • High Accuracy – Nonlinearity and hysteresis typically ± 0.1% of rated output; repeatability better than that.

  • Robust Overload Protection – Up to 1000% safe overload for both tension and compression, protecting against accidental over-force.

  • Lightweight & Sensitive – The smallest capacities are lightweight (≈ 0.7 oz / 19.3 g) with fine deflection to capture small loads.

  • Durable Design – Good resistance to vibration and shock; designed to maintain performance in dynamic or industrial environments.
