Manufacturer / model / FSH item13 matching review routes. Replacement approval follows the exact drawing and electrical configuration.

Original reference	MT route	Mechanical / electrical review	Next step
FUTEK LTH300 / FSH04815 / FSH00305	MT-THL-D	Compression, 700 Ω family, WC1. FSH04815 indexed item is 50 lb / 1/4 in nominal; do not infer 3/8 in from the part number.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →
FUTEK LTH350 / FSH04599	MT-THL-D	Smooth compression family with connector variants. Compare actual bore, OD, capacity, connector and drawing revision.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →
FUTEK LTH400 / FSH00428 / FSH00442	MT-THL-D	Smooth compression, not threaded bidirectional. Current family drawing: 50.3 mm OD / 16 mm H, 700 Ω / CC19. Legacy part details require their own drawing.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →
FUTEK LTH500	MT-THL-D / LP	High-capacity compression. Check loading lands, actual bore and capacity; a similar outside envelope does not establish an exact replacement.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →
Honeywell Model D	MT-THL-D	Donut compression direction; compare the configured item, actual bore and electrical output.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →
Honeywell Model TH / Model 3632	MT-THL-D / LP	Compression donut/thru-hole review. Low-force thin rings and high-force column designs are separate mechanical cases.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →
Honeywell Model 41	MT-THL-TF	Threaded low-profile tension/compression architecture; verify thread pitch, engagement, flange pattern and loading direction.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →
Interface LW / LWHP14 / LWCF	MT-THL-D / B	Washer/clamp-force families. Check each size, rated range, stiffness and cable; no blanket equivalence.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →
HBK / HBM KMRplus / KMR+	MT-THL-B	Installed force-shunt calibration matters. Current KMR+ data includes load-application disks; compare the complete measurement point.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →
Kistler 9011A / 9021A / 9031A / 9041A / 9051A / 9061A / 9071A	MT-THL-B	Piezoelectric-to-strain-gauge conversion requires a new conditioner and timing/creep review. It is not an electrical drop-in.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →
Transducer Techniques THD	MT-THL-D	THD is a smooth through-hole series calibrated in compression; do not map it to TF solely because the name contains through-hole.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →
Stellar Technology Annular / custom reference	MT-THL-LP	Send the exact manufacturer drawing and range. Annular geometry alone does not define a matched part.	Request cross-reference →
FUTEK instruments USB220 / USB520 / IAA100 / IAA200 / IAC200	MT-AMP-KIT	Review USB/software, analog ranges, bridge load, number of channels and summed versus independent data. Software and electrical compatibility require confirmation.Manufacturer reference ↗	Request cross-reference →

Third-party trademarks identify independent review subjects. Piezoelectric and strain-gauge systems need different conditioning. No blanket interchangeability or unchanged PLC wiring is assumed.

Mechanical fit: more than ID × OD × H

Provide the original FUTEK LTH300 / LTH350 / LTH400 / LTH500, Honeywell, Interface, HBK, Kistler or Stellar Technology part number, bore, loading faces, support ring, cable direction, load range and operating environment. We review each interface before stating drop-in compatibility.

Bridge and system equivalence

Compare excitation, rated output, bridge resistance, pinout, polarity, temperature effects, stiffness, overload and calibration. The LTH manual identifies LTH400 within its compression family; a threaded tension design requires separate assessment. Honeywell Model 41 geometry also needs drawing verification.
