Load Cell - 10kg, Straight Bar (TAL220)

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.
