A single-point load cell (strain gauge) rated for up to 50 kg. This is the same type of sensor found in digital bathroom scales. It outputs a small analogue voltage proportional to the applied force, which can be read using a load cell amplifier such as the HX711.
Specifications
- Capacity – 50 kg
- Type – Single-point strain gauge load cell
- Output – Analogue (requires amplifier such as HX711)
Ideal For
- DIY weighing scales and force measurement
- Load monitoring and sensing projects
- Arduino and microcontroller-based weight systems

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- Strain gauge
- A strain gauge is a sensor element whose electrical resistance changes when it is stretched or compressed. It is commonly used to measure force, weight, pressure or bending, and because its resistance change is small it usually needs precise differential measurement electronics such as a high-resolution ADC.
