Honeywell Model LC Digital Force Indicator
Honeywell / Model LC / Digital Force Indicator
The Model LC digital force indicator is a highly portable force measurement device. With its 9 V battery supply and compact size the indicator can easily be carried to remote locations to perform force measurement calibrations. The unit can measure compression forces up to 50,000 lbs.
The peak capture feature allows the highest force reading taken to be displayed with the push of a button. The remote location of the load sensor minimizes the chance of damage to the electronic body of the gauge. The stainless steel construction of the sensor and the indicator makes them often resistant to the occasional mishandling than can occur in the field. Optional handles are available for the load cell and gauge.
Each unit has a membrane face with raised buttons and tactile feedback for setup and operation. The high, low, and clear buttons are easily accessible on this front membrane. Zero adjustment and zero offset/tare functions are standard on each unit. Calibration and setup parameters are stored on a memory chip to protect from loss even when power is interrupted. Unauthorized set ups and calibrations are also blocked with internal security. Various combinations of the front panel buttons can be de-activated.
Model LFH-7I subminiature load cell is a low profile force transducer for applications with minimal space and high capacity requirements. This transducer utilizes foil strain gages to measure compression loads of up to 10,000 lb and achieves accuracy of ±0.7 % full scale. The top of the load cell is the area where the force is applied and the base ring of the load cell must be placed on a hard, machine-ground flat surface to obtain optimum accuracy.
The Model D Donut Shaped Load Cell features a smooth thru-hole design often ideal for applications which require the load structure to pass directly through the cell. Such applications include bolt force measurements, clamping forces, and monitoring overloads. Load ranges as low as 150 grams and as great as 30,000 pounds can be measured within a maximum full scale non-linearity and hysteresis of ±0.5 % F.S., respectively. These models are used in compression applications and are available in multiple hole and frame sizes. For optimum performance, these cells must be mounted between load surfaces which are flat and parallel. The Model D miniature load cell is designed to have a minimum thickness.
Model 34 precision miniature load cells measure both tension and compression load forces of 1000 g to 1000 lb. These models are our highest accuracy, rugged miniature load cells. Model 34’s welded, stainless steel construction is designed to eliminate or reduce to a minimum, the effects of off-axis loads. (The internal construction assures excellent long-term stability for ranges 1000 grams and above.) A modification permits this model to be completely welded for underwater applications. The Model 34 tension/compression load cell has female threads attachments. High accuracies of 0.15 % to 0.25 % full scale are achieved. Each bonded strain gage unit is built of welded 17-4 PH stainless steel for additional ruggedness. All load cells with ranges from 1 kg to 10 lb have an electrical balance module in the lead wire (approximately 1 in x .087 in thick). This balance module does not have to be the same temperature as the transducer.
The Model 3156 fatigue-resistant load cells are extremely resistant to extraneous bending and side loading forces. The structure virtually eliminates bending strains at the strain gage, minimizing the primary cause of load cell failure. Dual bridge option available for feedback control and redundancy.
Model 53 load cells are bonded foil strain gage transducers designed for cost efficient production and testing applications (i.e. press calibration). Engineered compression force measurements up to 50K lb., this model achieves a maximum non-linearity of 0.5 % full scale. Precision gaging techniques and a stainless steel construction provides excellent long-term stability and reliability under severe operating conditions. The Model 53 compression-only load cell has an integral load button machined as part of the load cell. The Model 53 must be mounted on a smooth flat surface for proper operation. Three tapped holes are provided for mounting.
Model 11 (tension/compression) subminiature load cell is designed to measure load ranges from 150 g to 1000 lb. With subminiature dimensions, including diameters from .50 in to 0.75 in and height of 0.38 in, these units are easily incorporated into systems having limited space. The model achieves a non-linearity and hysteresis of 0.5 % full scale respectively and a frequency response of up to 58 kHz. A balance module is included in the load cell’s lead wire cable for zero balance, and should not be removed.
Honeywell’s cost-effective, general purpose, carbon steel, pancake load cells offer a compact design that features exceptional structural capability to withstand extraneous loads, such as torque, bending movements and side loads combined with a high degree of accuracy for general purpose applications.
Designed to measure tension/compression, these load cells have enhanced accuracies up to 0.07 % and have measurement ranges from 5 lb up to 100,000 lb. Fatigue-resistant and fatigue-rated models for use with applications with extremely high cycle counts are available. Need special modifications or a custom design?

Model 31 low range precision miniature load cells measure both tension and compression load forces of 50 grams to 500 g. These models are our highest accuracy, rugged miniature load cells. Model 31’s welded, stainless steel construction is designed to eliminate or reduce to a minimum, the effects of off-axis loads. (The internal construction assures excellent long-term stability for ranges 1000 grams and above.) A modification permits this model to be completely welded for underwater applications. The Model 31 tension/compression load cell has male threads attachments. High accuracies of 0.15 % to 0.25 % full scale are achieved. Each bonded strain gage unit is built of welded 17-4 PH stainless steel for additional ruggedness.
Model 3632 Compression Donut Load Cell features a smooth thru-hole design for use in applications which require the load structure to pass through the cell. The hollow load cells are available for compression only loads in capacities of 25K, 50K and 100K lbs. For optimum performance, this load cell must be mounted between load surfaces which are flat and parallel.
Honeywell’s Model 75 load cells are engineered for applications such as materials or product fatigue testing, which involve an extremely large number of cycles or occasional overload conditions. These fatigue rated load cells have load ranges from 50 lb to 200,000 lbs and achieve a non-linearity of 0.1% full scale. The superior design of these bonded foil, strain gage compression and/or tension load cells permits a fatigue life of 1 billion cycles (zero to full scale).
Model 75 measures tension/compression and must be used on a smooth flat surface to achieve rated specifications. The tension/compression Model 75 is designed with the threaded hole running completely through the center of the cell. Model 75 utilizes two stabilizing diaphragms, which are welded to the sensing member to reduce off-center and side-loading effects.
The Model 3129-121 fatigue-resistant load cells are extremely resistant to extraneous bending and side loading forces. The structure virtually eliminates bending strains at the strain gage, minimizing the primary cause of load cell failure. Dual bridge option available for feedback control and redundancy.
The Model RGM In-Line load cells are high quality, stainless steel, rugged load cells capable of withstanding significant off-axis loads, making them an ideal choice for in-line compression measurement or tension measurement where side loading cannot be completely controlled. The flexible mounting options make applications easier to implement, and the all stainless steel, hermetic construction is well suited to corrosive and very high humidity environments.
