Donut Load Cell, Ranges from 0-5 Lbs to 0-10,000 Lbs

Donut Load Cells

Our donut load cells are a sturdy option featuring a convenient through-hole design and can offer functionality while remaining cost-effective.

As with other types of load cells, donut load cells convert force into an electrical signal sent to a computer to monitor forces with increased precision. The unique design of donut load cells is particularly useful for installation in tight spaces around bolts or shafts without sacrificing precision or accuracy.

These load cells, which measure compression exclusively, feature a central hole that allows a load to pass through it, with applications including clamping force measurements, bolt force measurement, rolling mill systems and monitoring overload post or leg mounting systems. The hole’s size will vary depending on the model you settle on, giving you flexibility in how you use it.

Durable construction and added environmental protections make donut load cells a practical application in a host of scenarios, whether on land or on submerged environments. These load cells are often utilized in the manufacturing industry, as they’re particularly useful in press-fit machinery and automotives.

The donut load cell model LKCP 475 is an economical answer for compression applications requiring a through-hole design. For optimum performance, these models must be mounted between load surfaces which are flat and parallel. The extremely low profile and compact design, combined with stainless steel construction and environmental protection have given these instruments a record of reliability in tough industrial applications.
