LCTA-A
Advanced Thin Design. Compared to the Conventional Load Cell, the Height is 1/2 to 1/3 Enabling a Wider Range of Applications.
Original ideas and advanced technologies cultivated
in weight control of large scale airplanes made the
revolutionary thin design of the LCTA-A series load
cells possible. The integrated design and rubber
attachment enable use with the top and bottom fixed
and provide excellent buffer.
?? Optional dedicated rubber attachment enables fixing the top and bottom with bolts,
thereby making it possible to design the system with no tension rod or stay rod used.
?? Safety factor is 3 to 5 times higher than conventional type.
Endures lateral loads up to 20% of the rated capacity.
?? Rubber attachment attenuates impact energy and lessens
the effects of thermal expansion of system and the moment of fixed section.
?? Rubber attachement enables easy installation without concern for parallelism.
?? Varieties of accuracies and outputs are available,
enabling configuration of the most suitable system for each application.
?? Peripheral instruments such as amplifiers can easily be connected since
the wirings are the same as conventional load cells.
*TEDS-installed versions can be manufactured. Inquiries are welcome.
