## Description

A 1kg straight bar load cell (strain gauge) that converts applied force into a measurable electrical signal. Made from aluminium alloy with four strain gauges in a Wheatstone bridge configuration, this sensor is ideal for measuring weight, detecting objects, or monitoring force changes over time. Pair with a load cell amplifier (such as the HX711) to read precise weight measurements from a microcontroller. Key Features 1kg Capacity – Measures force up to 1kg Wheatstone Bridge – Four strain gauges for accurate differential measurement Aluminium Alloy – Durable straight bar construction Wiring Colour Code Red: E+ (Excitation positive) Black: E− (Excitation negative) Green: O+ (Output positive) White: O− (Output negative) Ideal For DIY scales and weighing systems Object presence detection Force measurement experiments Arduino and microcontroller projects Package Contents 1× 1kg Straight Bar Load Cell
