Product Description

A1 Series Lloyd Instruments load cell overview

The A1 Series are plug-and-play replacement load cells for the entire line of Lloyd Instruments materials testing machines, designed as direct drop-in upgrades for the Lloyd Instruments XLC and YLC series. Each A1 load cell connects to the machine's existing wiring without modification, restoring full test functionality immediately. The A1 Series improves on the original XLC and YLC designs with more responsive electronics, improved measurement performance, and more generous safe overload protection across all capacity models. Capacities range from ±10 N to ±100 kN, covering the full span of Lloyd Instruments machine load ranges. Each unit ships in a protective carrying case with an anti-static foam interior that guards against both electrical and mechanical shock, and includes the required connector and a 15.8 mm (5/8 in) or 31.7 mm (1¼ in) stainless or aluminum eye-end adapter depending on the model.

Technical notes

Installation

The A1 Series connects to the Lloyd Instruments machine via the included connector with no wiring modification required. The eye-end adapter attaches to the load cell's threaded connection and links to the machine's load train. Select the A1 model matching your existing XLC or YLC load cell capacity. For the best measurement accuracy, calibrate the A1 load cell to the specific machine it will be used with after installation.
