Key Features & Benefits of the QLA Series Custom Load Cells
Wide Range of Geometries & Capacities
This range of QLA series custom load cells offers S-beam, pancake / low profile, thru-hole (donut), column, inline, and also multi-axis formats, covering capacities from grams to hundreds of thousands of pounds.High Accuracy & Low Nonlinearity
These sensors are built with tight tolerances. Some models also offer nonlinearity and non-repeatability as low as ±0.02% of rated output.Robust Construction & Materials
Bodies and flexures use aerospace-grade 17-4 stainless steel or anodized aluminum for strength, corrosion resistance, and repeatable performance.Temperature Compensation & Stability
Internally compensated designs reduce drift over temperature. They also give stable readings over a broad operating range.Overload Protection / Mechanical Stops
Many models include built in overload stops or high safe overload margins, protecting the sensor from mechanical abuse during installation or inadvertent force spikes as a result.Flexible Electrical Interfaces
Output in mV/V, VDC, 4–20 mA, or digital signals, and also as signal conditioning via FUTEK’s amplifiers and USB modules.Custom & OEM Solutions
For special applications, these sensors also offer custom design options to modify geometry, capacity, signal type, mounting, and environmental packaging.Calibration & Traceability
Each sensor can come with factory calibration. FUTEK also provides ISO-traceable calibration services to ensure measurement confidence.
