Omega LCCD-500 S-Beam Load Cell, 500 lb Capacity

The Omega LCCD-500 is a high-precision S-beam load cell designed for tension and compression measurements in industrial applications. Manufactured by Omega Engineering, this stainless steel load cell offers a capacity of 500 pounds with excellent accuracy and repeatability, making it ideal for use in material testing, weighing systems, process control, and force measurement setups. Key features include a rugged, environmentally sealed construction that withstands harsh conditions, with IP67 rating for dust and moisture resistance. It provides a nominal output of 3 mV/V, compatible with standard strain gauge amplifiers and data acquisition systems. Advantages over similar products include superior linearity (0.03% FS), low hysteresis, and a wide operating temperature range, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. Benefits include easy installation via threaded ends, high overload protection (150% FS safe), and calibration traceability to NIST standards. Drawbacks may include higher cost compared to basic load cells and the need for proper mounting to avoid side loads. This model is particularly suited for laboratory, manufacturing, and automation sectors, offering better long-term stability than competing brands like Vishay or HBM. The unit appears new in original packaging, with included calibration certificate dated November 17, 2020, confirming factory-fresh condition and no visible wear or damage from the provided images.
