Low profile “pancake” type cells are engineered to measure loads from 5 to 500,000 pounds. The tension/compression LGP 310 is designed with a threaded hole running through the center of the cell. The LGP 310 utilizes two stabilizing diaphragms, which are welded to the sensing member to reduce off-center and side-loading effects. A load button may be desirable when using in compression or a pull plate when using in tension. This model must be used on a flat, smooth surface to achieve rated specifications. This unit can be hermetically sealed for added durability. Options available with this unit include: 0-5 Vdc, 4-20ma output, fatigue rating, high/low temperature compensation and ultra precision accuracy.
