Overview

The LHCA force sensor enables tension and compression force measurement with high precision (0.1% of full scale) and minimal space requirement (only 10 mm in height). Force is applied via an M3 threaded hole. The sensor is fixed to the test bench or frame using 4 M3 threaded holes.

Available in 4 capacity versions from 10N to 100N, the LHCA features robust construction (aluminium, 150% overload protection) and an operating temperature range from -20 to 80°C.

Usage

The LHCA force sensor is powered by 2.5 to 10 Vdc. A complete and configured measurement chain can be obtained by adding a display, conditioner, or acquisition module:

Display	Display	Analog Conditioner	Analog Conditioner	Analog Conditioner	Acquisition Module	Acquisition Module
