Cryogenic, High Temp & UHV
Most commercial strain cells use strain-gage-based sensing of applied load. This is fundamentally incompatible with extremes of temperature. The LC100 is the the only commercial strain cell that explicitly designed for challenges of high and low temperature operation as well as being at home in UHV and irradiated environments.
Proven record at the cutting edge
Razorbill Instruments has over a decade of experience designing and manufacturing precision cryogenic mechanisms used at the forefront of scientific research. Our products are used at temperatures close to absolute zero and extreme magnetic field in research labs across the world, including almost every US National Laboratory.
VitraCap technology
Unlike conventional load cells, the LC100 has integrated VitraCap force measurement technology. This high-stability, low-noise capacitive force sensor allows high-accuracy, high-precision measurements ( 1ppm/√Hz) while operating at extreme temperature. Overload protection as standard means that the sensor is remarkably robust against unplanned overloads.
Aerospace, industrial processing
Potential applications include;
• Cryogenic fuel handling
• High-temperature industrial processes
• Materials testing (radiation or UHV)
• Measuring thrust or weight at HT/LT
• Force feedback in space mechanisms
