Pancake Load Cell 60 lbs 100lb 200lb 500lb 1000lb Compression Force Load Cell

Universal Pancake Load Cell FCMA is made of high stiffness alloy steel based on foil strain gauge technology to deliver 2.0mV/V rated output proportional to the applied force.Pancake load cell FCMA offers 0-66lb / 0-110lb / 0-220lb / 0-440lb / 0-660lb / 0-1100lb / 0-2200lb seven rated measuring ranges with maximum 0.1% non-linearity of the rated output to choose from intended for both static and dynamic force measurement, universal Compression Force Load Cell FCMA can be used for both tension and compression measurement, low profile structure makes it also suitable for in-line force monitoring. Weight Transducer FCMA is designed with a M16x1.5 threaded hole running through the center of the transducer which can be used to mount attachments such as load buttons,eye bolts or other adapters for force loading, this makes spoke type load cells very adaptable to various cases, you may find pancake type load cell FCMA applicable for force measurement in injection-molding machines, press machines and material testing equipment, weight measurement for tanks, vessels and hoppers, and so on.

Brief instruction of Rated output(or Sensitivity):
Definition: The signal produced by load cell(or force transducer) when rated load is applied, expressed in terms of mV/V. The rated output indicates the output signal range of a sensor.
Sensor output = (Power supply * Rated output) * Load / Capacity
Rated output is pancake load cell FCMA is normally around 2.0mV/V.
Power supply of low profile load cell FCMA is normally within 3-15V.
Load / Capacity is within 0-1.
So the output range of universal load cell FCMA is normaly within -30mV...+30mV for tension and compression force measurement.
Example one: Pancake Load Cell FCMA-100kg with 2.0mV/V power by 3.3V DC,the output range is -6.6mV...+6.6mV proportional to the applied load.
Example two: Universal Load Cell FCMA-300kg with 1.9mV/V power by 10V DC,the output range is -19mV...+19mV proportional to the applied load.

Load cell + Signal amplifier:
Load cell normally outputs -30mV...+30mV which sometimes cannot be recognized by signal processing units directly,so signal conditioner is introduced to convert mV signal into 0-5V/0-10V/4-20mA for easy signal processing.
Example: Compression load cell sensor FCMA-200kg working with 0-10V amplifier,the load-output relationship will be 0-200kg load VS 0-10V output,when you get 5V output,it means the current load on the loadcell is 100kg.
