LC-500G Low Tension Load Cells
Ideal for lightweight, single-strand applications such as wire, fiber optics and filament textiles
Full Wheatstone bridge strain gauge configurations
Easy mounting options
LC-500G Low Tension Load Cells Overview
Lightweight single-strand applications, including wire, fiber optics and filament textiles, face the need for exacting tension measurement. For various reasons, lighter, thinner, finer materials are now demanded, and manufacturers require tension controls that can help facilitate those demands.
MAGPOWR’s low tension load cells (LC-500G & LC-500GS1) have full Wheatstone bridge strain gauge configurations, and they meet the same industry-leading specifications as all other MAGPOWR load cells. The LC-500G, designed to mount easily into almost any single-strand installation, also provides 360 degrees of overload protection, eliminating the need for recalibration in the event of overload. For applications requiring special pulleys, the LC-500GS1 is available with provisions for a customer-supplied pulley.
