LCF
Series
FUTEK's LCF550 Pancake Load Cell – High Capacity is designed for high capacity compression and tension applications. Built from robust 17-4 PH stainless-steel in a 100,000 lb capacity, the LCF550 can be used in most grueling environments. The low profile design also features 16 bolt down holes allowing easy mounting. You will also find options for fatigue rated and amplified versions readily available.
The LCF550 Pancake Load Cell – High Capacity offers high accuracy. It has a nonlinearity of ± 0.1% of RO and a deflection of 0.002 in nominal. The standard LCF550 can be modified or customized to meet your requirements. Similar to our entire Load Cell product line, this model is manufactured in the USA and uses metal foil strain gauge technology.
Product Highlights:
- Low profile design
- 17-4 PH stainless-steel construction
- For use in both tension and compression
- Utilizes metal foil strain gauge technology

Universal
Load Cell
Model LCF300 Universal Load Cell is a low profile tension and compression load cell designed for applications where vertical space is limited or extraneous loads are encountered. Typical applications include Endurance and Fatigue Testing, where long performance cycles are required. The LCF300 Universal Load Cell has female/female threads and with its intricate one-piece-construction, it is able to withstand high extraneous loads. It is available in 2024 Aluminum for lower capacities (10 to 50 lbs) and 17-4 Stainless Steel for higher capacity range (100 to 500 lbs).
This unit is designed and manufactured in USA and it utilizes our highest quality metal foil strain gauge. The Universal Load Cell offers high accuracy with a Nonlinearity of ±0.25% and has a operating temperature range of -60°F to 200°F. If the standard model does not meet your requirements, we will gladly work with you to modify or customize a product.
