Futek L1618 Data Sheet
The L1618 is a miniature compression load button designed for force measurement up to 10,000 lb. It features a stainless‑steel body, a #29 AWG four‑conductor braided shield cable, and a rated output of 2 mV/V nominal. The device includes excitation options of 18 VDC or VAC and provides a safe overload rating of 150 % of the rated output.
Technical details include a zero‑balance of 43 % of RO, nonlinearity and hysteresis each within 1 % of RO, and a non‑repeatability of 0.5 % of RO. Temperature performance is specified from –40 °F to 200 °F with compensated temperature range of 60 °F to 160 °F. Capacity tables list output values for loads from 4,000 lb to 10,000 lb.
