{"title":"Load Cell - 10kg, Straight Bar (TAL220)","handle":"load-cell-10kg-straight-bar-tal220","url":"/products/load-cell-10kg-straight-bar-tal220","description":"A straight bar load cell (strain gauge) that translates up to 10 kg of force into an electrical signal. Built from aluminium alloy with four strain gauges in a Wheatstone bridge configuration, it measures the change in electrical resistance proportional to the applied load.\n\nUse it to weigh objects, detect weight changes over time, or sense the presence of objects on a surface. Pair it with an HX711 load cell amplifier for easy interfacing with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other microcontrollers. The cell features IP66 protection for dust and water resistance, and includes M4 and M5 through-holes for straightforward mounting.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n10 kg Capacity – Aluminium-alloy straight bar design\n\nWheatstone Bridge – Four strain gauges for accurate, proportional measurement\n\nIP66 Rated – Dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets\n\nEasy Mounting – Two M4 and two M5 through-holes\n\nColour-Coded Wiring – Red (E+), Green (O+), Black (E−), White (O−)\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nCapacity – 10 kg\n\nMaterial – Aluminium alloy\n\nProtection Rating – IP66\n\nDimensions – 80 × 12.7 × 12.7 mm\n\nWire Length – 250 mm\n\nMounting – M4 and M5 through-holes\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nDIY scales and weight measurement\nObject presence detection\nLoad monitoring and force measurement\nIndustrial and agricultural automation\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× TAL220 Load Cell (10 kg, Straight Bar)\n\n\nResources\n\nTAL220 Datasheet (PDF)\nGetting Started with Load Cells\nHX711 Load Cell Amplifier Hookup Guide\n","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":11705,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-SEN-13329","price":29.45,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
