Thru Hole Load Cell Model: LCC-SCD

Load Cell Central's Model SCD Donut Shaped Load Cell features a smooth thru-hole design perfect 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. These models are used in compression applications and are available in multiple hole sizes. For optimum performance, these cells must be mounted between load surfaces which are flat and parallel. The Model SCD miniature load cells are designed to have minimum thickness.

Shown below are three separate outline drawings of Load Cell Central's Model SCD Load Cell. The combination chart below indicates that with a single shell size (outside diameter), different "donut holes" are available. For example, in the small frame size (A) it is possible to select a 250 lb. load cell with a nominal hole size of 1/8" (P), 3/16" (Q), 1/4" (R), or 3/8" (S) diameter.

We utilize actual hole dimensions to provide some clearance; for example the 1/8" (P) diameter dimension, the actual dimension is 0.128".

Flexible design and production capability make it possible for Load Cell Central to deliver any range/hole-size combination of SCD Series load cell in this matrix without delays.
