  • Applications
  • Ranges 5 to 1000kN
  • Stainless Steel construction
  • Environmentally Sealed to IP66
  • Low Profile
  • High Natural Frequency
  • High Thermal Stability

The PTC-1 series load cells are based on the conventional low profile or pancake load cell principle. The internal construction is a shear web design, offering high natural frequency, low deflection and excellent resistance to side and torsion forces.

The PTC-1 is constructed from stainless steel offering excellent corrosion resistance. There is an optional mounting base available, which is required if the load cell is to be used in tension. The mounting base is also constructed from stainless steel.
The standard load cell is supplied with an integral MIL spec. connector and supplied with a mating connector.

The PTC-1 is ideally suited to many testing applications, where high stability and low height are essential requirements.
The PTC-1 can be supplied with any of LCM Systems range of load cell instrumentation, and can be supplied calibrated as a complete ready to go system.

Please consult our technical department for any technical advice required on this product or the interfacing with our instrumentation.
