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
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- Strain gauge
- A sensor element that changes resistance when it is stretched or compressed. It is commonly used for measuring force, weight, or bending, and often needs precise differential measurement electronics like this ADC.
