DESCRIPTION
LPT load cells incorporate a new patented design that LPT transducers are particularly well suited for materials
provides fatigue resistance in excess of 10 million cycles, as testing machines, aircraft structural fatigue testing, and other
well as precision performance. It has minimal deflection at full difficult applications requiring the ultimate in life and
load and high natural frequency. The shear design provides accuracy.
high resistance to extraneous forces developed from
The model LPT is also an excellent choice for weighing
bending, torsion, or side loads.
