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 TH Donut Shaped Load Cell features a smooth thru-hole design for use in applications which require the load structure to pass through the cell. Such applications include bolt force measurement, post or leg mount, and rolling mill systems. Load ranges as low as 15,000 pounds and as great as 200,000 pounds can be measured within a maximum full scale non-linearity of ±0.25. This model is used in compression applications. For optimum performance, this load cell must be mounted between load surfaces which are flat and parallel. The Model TH Donut Shaped Load Cell is designed to provide the customer with an internal hole diameter which is large relative to the outside diameter. The Model TH is a small size, high capacity load cell.
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.
The Model 3140-CS load cell series has been designed as a reference standard for calibration labs in automotive, aerospace, military or industrial markets. These tension/compression load cells can be used when accuracy is a high priority requirement. Some advantages of these load cells are: compact size, high accuracy and availability.
The Model 3130-131 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 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.
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 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.
Designed for general purpose use in demanding applications in automotive, aerospace, and military applications. Some advantages of these tension/compression load cells include compact size, high accuracy, and cost efficiency. The 3140-P has smaller maximum off-center load and moment error than the standard 3140 Series.
The small-diameter, cost-efficient load cells are designed to be used in applications that require an ability to mount in an existing system with restricted working area. They are commonly used in fluid power transfer systems. Their low cost and ease of mounting allow simultaneous testing of multi-element systems.
They may be directly attached to the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder. Side-mounted cable connectors allow cable assemblies to be supported without affecting movement of the cell during tension or compression loading.
Model 13 (compression only) subminiature load cell is designed to measure load ranges from 150 g to 1000 lb. With subminiature dimensions, including diameters from 0.38 in to 0.75 in and heights of 0.13 in to 0.25 in, these units are easily incorporated into systems having limited space. Model 13 combines high frequency response and low deflection to achieve a combined non-linearity and hysteresis of 0.25 % to 0.5 % full scale. A balance module is included in the load cell’s lead wire cable for temperature compensation and should not be removed.
These general purpose designs have exceptional structural capability to withstand extraneous loads, such as torque, bending moments, and side loads. Available in capacities of 500 lb to 5000 lb, they offer maximum performance and enhanced accuracy.
Minimum deflection and compactness make these general-purpose load cells easy to install and use.
