    After purchasing one ATO load cell, you can buy a special digital panel meter to obtain readings directly, or buy a transmitter to output standard signal to PLC, DCS and other systems. Customized output signal is 0~5V, 0~10V, 0~±10V, or 4-20mA.

    Note: The load cell cannot be connected to both the transmitter and the controller at the same time — only one can be selected.

    The compression load cell is a device used to measure pressure changes. Its working principle is based on the Piezoresistive Effect. When pressure is applied, the piezoresistive material physically deforms. This deformation causes the material's resistivity to change, producing a voltage signal. By measuring changes in this voltage signal, information about pressure changes can be obtained. Compression load cells have capacity range from 300kg, 500kg, 1000kg, 10 ton, 25 ton, 50 ton to 100 ton. Load cell capacity can be customized according to customer requirements.

    Tips: Can Compression Load Cells be used in multi-load measurement systems?

    Yes, compression load cells can be used in multi-load measurement systems where multiple load cells are combined to measure forces in different directions or parts of a system. In such systems, the data from multiple load cells are combined to provide an overall force measurement, often used in testing or monitoring systems in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and structural engineering. For instance, in large-scale testing setups, multiple compression load cells are used to measure different parts of a structure or machine under load, allowing for more comprehensive force measurement.

    A question
    Hello, I have a question about the ATO-LCST-TJH-4A 300Kg compression load cell. Is it possible to set the excitation voltage to 5V and then use it with an amplifier/ADC like the HX711? This is my current electronics configuration. If it doesn't work, I will have to look for other load cells.
    From: Linde | Date: 03/03/2026
    Was this review helpful? Yes No (0/0)
    ATO Responded
    The ATO-LCST-TJH-4A 300Kg compression load cell can be powered by a 5V excitation voltage. Theoretically, it should be able to be used with the HX711, but we haven't tested it.
    Sampling Rate
    We are measuring a small SRM with a pressure of approximately 250 kg—I was originally hoping for a 500 kg range to obtain medium-range measurement results. Due to the dynamic output of the pressure sensor, we are sampling at a 2 kHz sampling rate (but we could use a load cell with a slower response time). Any suggestions?
    From: Dennison | Date: 04/12/2025
    Was this review helpful? Yes No (0/0)
    ATO Responded
    This compression load cell ATO-LC-P01 is IP67 by default, and the cable can be customized to be extended to 10 meters, but the sensor's response frequency is 300-500 Hz, which does not meet the required 2 kHz.
    Measurement accuracy
    Hello, I'm looking to purchase some load cells with junction box amplifiers for weighing product tanks at our production facility. I need information on the accuracy I can achieve and the minimum measurement accuracy I can achieve using the following configuration: four ATO-LC-P01 load cells placed on each tank leg, equipped with an ATO-LCTR-OAR amplifier and an ATO-LCBOX-10I junction box.
    From: Neshov | Date: 03/08/2025
    Was this review helpful? Yes No (0/0)
    ATO Responded
    The load cell accuracy is 0.05%, and the minimum measurement value is no less than 10% of the range.
    Quality Load Cell, Help with Instructions
    Hi, I have a NTJH-4A 100t compression load cell and ATO-DDC5-CHB 5 digit display from ATO.

    When I connect the load cell to the display as shown in the ATO video on youtube. The display reads -100.00. Adding weight positively increase the number. When I try to zero (calibrate the display) there is error 1. What does this mean? How can it be fixed?
    From: Van | Date: 05/08/2024
    Was this review helpful? Yes No (0/0)
    ATO Responded
    1. If the display shows -100.00, you can swap the green/white signal lines, apply appropriate pressure, and check whether the sensor has a normal display.
    2. Regarding error 1, the maximum automatic calibration range can only be 10000. If the input value exceeds 10000, error 1 will appear because this is a 5-digit display controller. For a 100-ton range, the display unit Uint should be set to T.
    Power supply
    We will be using four (4) load cells ATO-LC-P01 (0-5 ton), connected to junction box ATO-LCBOX-10I, and then output to display controller ATO-DPM-LC5D. Please specify the power supply for this arrangement.
    From: Andrew | Date: 07/02/2024
    Was this review helpful? Yes No (0/0)
    ATO Responded
    The ATO-DPM-LC5D can output excitation power for use with the ATO-LCBOX-10I and load cell. The ATO-DPM-LC5D is powered by 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz.
    We are looking at purchasing one of your compression load cells.
    We will be using it to collect data from a test static rocket engine test fire. We are expecting a thrust curve of 1000 to 3000 lbs. Will your 2 ton load cell be sensitive enough to detect these loads? Also the part is labeled as a 2 ton load cell. Is this metric or customary?
    From: Harry | Date: 06/02/2024
    Was this review helpful? Yes No (0/0)
    ATO Responded
    Yes, this load cell can be used to collect data from a test static rocket engine test fire.

    Note: The force-bearing point from the sensor is the raised area in the center. The measurement unit is metric ton=1000Kg.

    Can you tell us what the ambient operating temperature is at which the ignition engine tests thrust?
    How to add these options of load cell?
    Wanting to purchase 4 of these at 5 tun that are sealed with output impedance of 350±3Ω. How to add these options?

    There are currently 5 units in stock. The lead time will be approx 5-7 days.
    Calibration requirement for compression load cell
    Just placed an order for the ATO-LCST-TJH-4A (5 ton).
    The sales representative that I spoke with had said there is field calibration that will be needed to be done that ATO’s technical team would assist on and would like to get a head start on what will be required for this.  So if you have any relevant documentation that I could get ahead of time I would much appreciate it.
    From: mila | Date: 03/02/2023
    Was this review helpful? Yes No (0/0)
    ATO Responded
    Yes, we noticed you purchased a load cell. Usually load cells are used together with display instruments or transmitters and need to be calibrated before use.
    500kg
    what is the decimal capability of the 500kg load cell? 0.01? 0.05 ? I am after two decimal place accuracy  but still a high load ~500kg
    From: Andrew | Date: 02/06/2022
    Was this review helpful? Yes No (0/0)
    ATO Responded
    What you want to know is its measurement accuracy at 500kg? If it is, the result is 0.15kg.
    Solutions to problems with load cells
    Our Application to weigh 6 point at a time and we need a controller with 6 channel to connect all 6 load cell in same controller to identify independence load cell weight and consolidated weight. Please provide a solution for the same.
    From: Douglas | Date: 09/06/2021
    Was this review helpful? Yes No (0/0)
    ATO Responded
    No controller can be connected to 6 sensors at the same time! But you can use junction box to measure the consolidated value.
    Can the compression load cell be sealed?
    Are the compression load cell a sealed unit? I want to see if it will leak internal trapped air? Best will be if they are not air tight and are open to the air.
    From: Pepper | Date: 19/04/2021
    Was this review helpful? Yes No (0/0)
    ATO Responded
    No, the compression load cell is not sealed, it's open to the air. But the factory can make it sealed. If required (free option), please specify when ordering.
