LOAD / lbf
Send working load, preload, peak force and cycle rate. A 25,000 lbf requirement needs a configuration-specific overload review.
DONUTLOADCELL.COM / DLC SERIES
Donut load cells.
Built around
your force path.
Compression measurement for die clamps, heavy fasteners and hydraulic test fixtures. Start with your load in lbf, your center bore in inches, and the space you actually have.
Engineering concept · dimensions set by approved drawing
START WITH THE INSTALLATION
Three dimensions.
One axial load path.
A replacement must fit more than the nominal load rating. Resolve bore clearance, installed stack height and the electrical interface before ordering a sample.
ENVELOPE / in
Define OD, center bore ID and height. Include loading washers, support plates and cable-exit clearance.
SIGNAL / mV/V
Match excitation, rated sensitivity, bridge resistance, wiring, connector and the existing instrument.

ENGINEERING QUESTIONS
Bore, threads and calibration.
Is a doughnut load cell different from a donut load cell?
The two spellings describe the same annular sensor style. Specify the actual compression load path, envelope and output when selecting a configuration.
Can I request a donut load cell 25000 lbs configuration?
Yes. State 25,000 lbf as the requested measurement capacity, plus preload and credible peak force. DLC-25K is the engineering family for reviewing that requirement; released model ratings require an approved datasheet.
What do donut load cell threads mean?
Identify whether you need an internally threaded center bore, mounting holes, or a clearance bore around a separate stud. Send the full thread size, pitch, engagement and drawing.
Do you handle donut load cell UK and international inquiries?
We accept engineering RFQs for UK, North American, Australian and European projects. Quote destination, units, documentation and shipping terms together.
Can you quote células de carga tipo donut?
Yes. Include the compression capacity, center bore ID, installed height and output required. The initial technical document set is in English.
DEFINE IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT
Your drawing is the starting point.
Send lbf capacity, OD × ID × height in inches, signal requirements, quantity and destination. For replacements, include the original model and option code.
