S Beam Tension Load Cell LSB302

The S Beam Tension Load Cell LSB302 is a rugged, compact S-Beam load cell engineered for both tension and compression measurements across moderate to high capacities. With its robust overload protection, aerospace-grade aluminum construction, and versatile mounting options, the LSB302 delivers high accuracy in environments where space, durability, and precision are all critical.

Key Features & Benefits of the S Beam Tension Load Cell LSB302

  • Dual-Mode Force Sensing – Performs excellently in both tension and compression, making it versatile for many measurement setups.

  • High Overload Protection – Up to 1000% overload protection for lower capacities (25-100 lb); 500% safe overload for the 300 lb version. Protects against accidental overloads, improving durability and lifespan.

  • Ultra-Low Nonlinearity & Hysteresis – Nonlinearity and hysteresis typically ±0.05 % RO for most capacities; slight loosening of tolerance for the 300 lb model. Ensures accurate, repeatable measurements.

  • Light, Durable Material – Anodized aluminum (2024-T4) construction provides strength while keeping the sensor lightweight.

  • Threaded Ends & Connector Options – Female threads at both ends (different thread sizes available: 1/4-28, M6x1, etc.), and a 4-pin LEMO connector receptacle standard; cable-version also available.

  • Wide Operating Temperature Range – Suitable for demanding temperature environments: −60 to +200 °F (−50 to +93 °C) for the LEMO connector version; slightly narrower for cable versions.

Typical Applications of the S Beam Tension Load Cell LSB302

LSB302 is ideal when high force capacity, compactness, and durability are required. Example use-cases include:

  • Platform scales, silos, hoppers where tension & compression sensing are needed

  • Industrial automation and material testing rigs

  • OEM designs where space is limited but high force ranges are needed

  • Harsh or variable temperature environments

  • Load measurement where ease of mounting or cable connection/disconnection matters


Why Choose the S Beam Tension Load Cell LSB302

  • Reliable Accuracy & Overload Safety – The high overload protection plus low nonlinearity makes this a dependable sensor for safety-critical or harsh environments.

  • Flexible Mounting & Thread Options – Multiple capacities and thread sizes mean it can be fitted into many existing mechanical designs.

  • Strong Material & Build Quality – Aerospace-grade aluminum and quality connectors/cable options help with resistance to wear and external factors.

  • Support & Calibration – Comes factory calibrated; you get support for integrating and verifying with your electronics.

  • Competitive Value – For what it offers in performance and durability, it’s strong value in its class.

Ordering & Customisation Notes

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

When ordering your LSB302, consider:

  1. What capacity you’ll need (25, 50, 100, or 300 lb), including overhead for safety.

  2. The thread type (1/4-28 vs M6 x 1) that matches your mounting needs.

  3. Whether you need cable or connector version depending on whether you plan for frequent disconnection or fixed installation.

  4. The environmental conditions—temperature extremes or exposure to moisture/chemicals may require reviewing IP rating or special versions.

  5. Calibration or certification needs—whether you need standard 5-point tension calibration, or certified compression or special documentation.
