The LPM 530 is a precision miniature force cells measure both tension and compression load forces of 50 grams to 10,000 pounds. These models are highly accurate, rugged miniature load cells. Model LPM 530's welded, stainless steel construction utilizes a "triple" stack design to reduce the effects of off-axis loads. The internal construction assures excellent long term stability for ranges of 1000 grams and above. All of the basic engineered concepts of larger load cells, such as, precision calibration, stabilizing diaphragms, temperature compensation, etc., are built into this model.
