About the WAS Stainless steel force washer
he WAS series is a robust and compact load cell range designed for through-hole applications. It ensures accurate force measurement in both tension and compression directions, with high overload tolerance up to 150% of the rated load. The stainless steel 17-4PH construction guarantees durability even in harsh environments.
Usage conditions
Operating reliably in temperatures from -20°C to +70°C, the WAS series offers protection to IP66 (optionally IP67). It supports ATEX-certified versions for hazardous areas, both intrinsically safe (Ex i) and explosion-proof (Ex d), making it suitable for critical applications in industrial zones.
Possible applications
- Bolt tension monitoring
- Forklift overload protection
- Press tool force measurement
- Tie rod or anchor point tension control
- Failsafe cable tensioning
Advantages of choosing this product
The WAS load cell offers precision and flexibility in one compact design. With a wide range of standard capacities and the possibility of customization, it can be tailored to unique application needs. LCM Systems' expertise also ensures integration with complete measurement systems, reducing time-to-deploy.
