Parallelogram Load Cell LSM305

The Parallelogram Load Cell LSM 305 is designed for both tension and compression measurement in compact OEM and embedded systems. Combining a lightweight form factor with integrated smart sensing (TEDS + PT1000 temperature sensor) and robust overload protection, it’s built for applications where small size, precision, and reliability are essential.

Key Features & Benefits of the Parallelogram Load Cell LSM305

  • Integrated Smart Sensing – Equipped with IEEE-1451.4 TEDS auto-recognition and onboard PT1000 RTD temperature sensor, enabling automatic calibration and real-time temperature compensation.

  • Robust Overload Protection – Built-in stops protect in both tension and compression, allowing the unit to survive loads beyond its rated range.

  • Exceptional Performance – Nonlinearity and hysteresis as low as ±0.02% of rated output (for 2.2–100 lb models), with strong repeatability and low creep.

  • Compact & Lightweight – The sensor weighs around 28 g for lower capacity models, making it ideal for tight, weight-sensitive systems.

  • Flexible Output & Interfaces – Compatible with analog (mV/V), VDC, mA, SPI, RS-422, USB, BLE, RS-232, UART, and more, making it adaptable to varied system architectures.

  • OEM & Embedded Ready – Designed for high-volume integration, side mounting, quick connector deployment, and easy replacement in the field.

Typical Applications of the Parallelogram Load Cell LSM305

Because of its Parallelogram Load Cell geometry, smart features, and compactness, the LSM305 is suited to:

  • OEM instrumentation (e.g. bottle filling, check weighing, small scales)

  • Medical devices / lab instruments

  • Embedded systems requiring real-time temperature compensation

  • High-volume production lines with modular sensor usage

  • Systems needing longevity, reliability, compact integration, and easy sensor swap


Why Choose the Parallelogram Load Cell LSM305

  • Precision & Stability – With low nonlinearity and hysteresis, you get trustworthy measurements over time.

  • Smart & Easy Setup – TEDS + PT1000 means simpler configuration, fewer setup errors, and automatic sensor recognition.

  • Protection & Durability – Overload stops help protect the sensor against misuse or installation stress.

  • Designed for OEM – Connectors, side mounting, replacement ease, and modular design make it production-friendly.

  • Broad Compatibility – Works with both analog and digital systems, giving flexibility in instrumentation choices.

  • Support & Customization – Metromatics can assist with calibration, mounting, interface selection, and application integration.
