This document contains product information and wiring diagram for the FUTEK model LCM500.
The LCM500 is a threaded‑rod load cell designed for tension and compression measurements. It features a 2 mV/V nominal output and a robust 17‑4PH stainless‑steel construction.
Key specifications include a safe overload of 150 % of rated output, operating temperature from –45 °F to 200 °F, and a 0.004 mm deflection. Wiring uses red/black for excitation and green/white for signal, with a shielded cable. Calibration accessories and related instruments are available from Futek.
