Supported Applications
The Omega LCGB Series comprises miniature low-profile compression load cells designed for industrial force measurement. These units feature through-body mounting holes and an integral load button to ensure even force distribution when mounted on a flat surface using cap screws.
Operating Conditions & Performance
The series operates within an ambient temperature range of 16 to 71°C (60 to 160°F) and supports process temperatures from -54 to 121°C (-65 to 250°F). Measurement capabilities span compression ranges from 0-50 lb to 0-50,000 lb (0-23 kg to 0-22,686 kg). Performance specifications include an accuracy of ±0.25% FSO, hysteresis of ±0.20% FSO, and repeatability of ±0.10% FSO.
Electrical characteristics are defined by a 350 Ω minimum load resistance and a nominal output signal of 2 mV/V with an excitation voltage of 10 Vdc. The all stainless steel construction provides reliability in harsh environments, meeting IP54 enclosure ratings. Each unit includes a 5-point NIST-traceable calibration and 59 kΩ shunt data.
Dimensional Variations by Capacity
The physical dimensions of the LCGB series vary according to capacity:
- 50 to 2,000 lb: D1: 32 mm (1.25 in), H: 10 mm (0.39 in)
- 3,000 to 10,000 lb: D1: 38 mm (1.50 in), H: 16 mm (0.63 in)
- 15,000 to 30,000 lb: D1: 51 mm (2.00 in), H: 25 mm (1.00 in)
- 50,000 lb: D1: 76 mm (3.00 in), H: 38 mm (1.50 in)
Configuration Options
The LCGB series is offered with a standard electrical connection consisting of a 1.5 m (5') 4-conductor cable with strain relief. The housing and wetted materials are constructed from stainless steel.
Available capacities include discrete models ranging from 50 lb to 50,000 lb. Specific model numbers follow the format LCGB-<CAPACITY>, such as LCGB-5K for a 5,000 lb capacity or LCGB-50 for a 50 lb capacity.
Compatible meters listed in documentation include DPIS, DP41-S, and DP25B-S. The series holds RoHS compliance certification.
Key Product Differences
Variants within the LCGB family are distinguished primarily by their rated capacity, which dictates specific dimensional parameters including overall diameter (D1), height (H), thickness (L), and mounting hole specifications. Mounting holes vary from #2 to #6 depending on the load range.

high quality, reliable, easy to use
I needed a good load-cell fast to re-qualifiy a press that had our manufacturing stopped. This load-cell was the answer. OMEGA had the gear at my door 7:30AM next day, and I had high confidence measuements 8AM. Great product. Great Customer Support. Fantastic experience

good thing about LCGB-5K
all-stainless steel, high accuracy with a linearity of ±0.25% Full Scale Output, load cell operates with a 10 VDC provides a 2 mV/V, temperature range, typically from -54 to 121°C (-65 to 250°F).

Hi, I'm using the LCGB-30k in a pilot-calender and need to re-design the force measurement. Does this sensor designed deform in force-direction when force is applied? Or can it be seen as static?
A slight deformation of the load will occur. At full load (30,000 lbf) nominal deflection is 0.003"

I will need a digital read out for this load cell. Which read out would be my best option. Thanks
We offer several digital readouts that are compatible with this load cell.

I am interested in using this load cell to measure the force being applied by different rocket engines sizings for a club at my school and was wondering what is the minimum force that can be measured by this load cell?
This load cell is a mechanical device and should provide an output at any force it sees.

Will the 30,000 lbf model retain its measurement accuracy at lower applied forces of about 1000 lbf?
Generally the load will not be as accurate in the lower 10% of its range.

Would the 50,000 lbf model be able to measure a very small force such as 10lbf or would it not sense it because it is built for larger forces?
Thank you for your inquiry, if 10lbf is the range that you would like to monitor we would recommend that you use a load cell that is closer to that range.

What is the size (diameter) of the wire that the 30,000 lbf model uses?
Thank you for your inquire

Is this load cell capable of handling an alternating current? If supplied with an alternating current, is it expected for the output signal to fluctuate with the excitation voltage?
Yes they will run on a low voltage AC signal (nominal 10V, 15V max). Your instrumentation you are reading the output signal with also have to be able to read the low level 20 mV AC signal that the load cell would output
