The HSC LCS-3 is a heavy S-type load cell for 15, 20 and 30 tonnes, used in electronic truck scales, dynamic rail scales and large-tonnage hopper scales. It takes the load in compression, responds fast, has a built-in overload-protection structure, and is sealed against water and dust to IP66 or IP68. Sensitivity is 2.0 or 3.0 mV/V with ±0.02% FS total error.
Why scale makers choose it
- 15, 20 and 30 t capacities.
- Overload-protection structure built in.
- Sealed: IP66 or IP68.
- Accurate: ±0.02% FS total error.

Which load cell?
For lighter S-type cells, see the LCS-1 (10 – 5,000 kg) or the LCS-2; for a column cell up to 450 t, the LCZ-2. To connect several cells, use a junction box. Browse all load cells.
Where it is used
Electronic truck scales, dynamic rail scales and large-tonnage hopper scales.
