## 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. Use 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. Key Features 10 kg Capacity – Aluminium-alloy straight bar design Wheatstone Bridge – Four strain gauges for accurate, proportional measurement IP66 Rated – Dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets Easy Mounting – Two M4 and two M5 through-holes Colour-Coded Wiring – Red (E+), Green (O+), Black (E−), White (O−) Specifications Capacity – 10 kg Material – Aluminium alloy Protection Rating – IP66 Dimensions – 80 × 12.7 × 12.7 mm Wire Length – 250 mm Mounting – M4 and M5 through-holes Ideal For DIY scales and weight measurement Object presence detection Load monitoring and force measurement Industrial and agricultural automation Package Contents 1× TAL220 Load Cell (10 kg, Straight Bar) Resources TAL220 Datasheet (PDF) Getting Started with Load Cells HX711 Load Cell Amplifier Hookup Guide
