COMPRESSION ONLY / THRU HOLE
LOAD WASHER LOAD CELL

LWO SERIES LOAD CELL

CAPACITY RANGES:
2,400 THROUGH 300,000 LBS.
      


The LW0 Series are washer shaped, strain
gage based load cells that have been most
commonly used in fastener testing and thru
hole load applications. Our stocked ranges
from 2,400 through 300,000 lbs. compression
are made from 17-4ph heat treated stainless
steel and are matched to bolt diameters and
their specific load characteristics. Modifications
of diameters, thicknesses, or load range to a
specific diameter for OEM applications are
welcomed. The sensing element incorporates
bonded foil strain gages of the highest quality
and are sealed for protection against most
industrial environments.

Learn about Plug and Play Smart Sensors


What are Plug and Play Smart Sensors?

A Plug and Play Smart Sensor is a Sensor that is compliant to the IEEE 1451.4 Standard. TEDS, or Transducer Electronic Data Sheet, is a set of electronic data in a standardized format defined within the IEEE 1451.4 standard. This data specifies what type of sensor is present, describes its interface, and gives technical information such as sensitivity, bridge type, excitation, etc. This information is stored in an EEPROM chip attached to a sensor. By having this chip, the sensor can identify and describe itself to the network and or Smart Load Cell Meter, thereby easing automatic system configuration. Let's say you have a Transducer Techniques Load Cell or Torque Sensor with the the proper instrument IEEE 1451.4 enabled Load Cell or Torque Sensor could be swapped in, self-identify, and work appropriately.


What are the advantages of Plug and Play Smart Sensors?

Benefits that can be experienced now include:

  • Simplified troubleshooting
  • Reduced safety risks. It is no longer necessary to "climb on machines" for connection verification
  • Reduced costs for set-up and tear-down
  • No recalibration is needed when replacing sensors
  • The data acquisition system can recalibrate itself

Advantages that will be available in the future include:

  • Integration with wireless transceivers
  • Elimination of large lengths of analog wiring
  • Reduced installation, maintenance and upgrade costs of measurement and control systems
  • The opportunity to add intelligence to sensors

Can a legacy / non-TEDS sensor be converted to a TEDS "Plug and Play" sensor?

Yes. A legacy / non-TEDS sensor can be converted to a TEDS "Plug and Play" sensor. Transducer Techniques offers a CAL-TEDS service to convert your sensor to a TEDS "Plug and Play" compliant sensor. The service consists of a connector, recalibration and a programmed EEPROM. This will update a legacy / non-TEDS sensor to be capable of plugging into Transducer Techniques IEEE 1451.4 compliant DPM-3 Smart Load Cell Meter.


What is Virtual TEDS?

Virtual TEDS is an online library of data sheets developed by National Instruments (www.ni.com) that contain the same information that would be found in an EEPROM TEDS, but exist for sensors not containing the EEPROM. This would define Plug and Play capability for legacy / non-TEDS sensors. As a National Instruments Plug and Play Sensor Partner and a National Instruments Alliance Member, Transducer Techniques has contributed the data for all its sensors to the Virtual TEDS database.
