This document is the technical manual for FUTEK LCM300 (L1650)
The LCM300 load cell is designed for miniature inline applications, offering both tension and compression measurement in a threaded form factor. It features a rated output of 2 mV/V, safe overload capability of 150 % of rated output, and a compact construction using 17‑4PH stainless steel flexure.
Key specifications include excitation up to 15 V DC/AC, bridge resistance of 700 Ω, and temperature compensation from -45 °F to 200 °F. The device ships with a #28 AWG, 4‑conductor spiral‑shielded PVC cable (10 ft) and is supported by calibration services and a range of accessories.
