{"title":"Strain Gauge Load Cell - 4 Wires - 10Kg","handle":"strain-gauge-load-cell-4-wires-10kg","url":"/products/strain-gauge-load-cell-4-wires-10kg","description":"A 10 kg strain gauge load cell for measuring force, weight, and tension. The strain gauge is epoxy-bonded to a robust aluminium bar that protects the delicate foil element and constrains deflection to a safe range. As force is applied, the gauge's resistance changes proportionally, providing a measurable electrical output.\n\nMount one end to a fixed surface using the mounting holes, then apply force to the free end in the direction indicated by the arrow on the side. Read the output using a precision ADC or Wheatstone bridge circuit such as the HX711.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n10 kg Capacity – Suitable for scales, force measurement, and tension monitoring\n\n4-Wire Connection – Standard Wheatstone bridge wiring for easy integration\n\nAluminium Construction – Protects the strain gauge and provides consistent deflection\n\nMounting Holes – Secure attachment to enclosures or frames\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nDIY scales and weighing systems\nForce and pressure measurement projects\nTension monitoring\nArduino and Raspberry Pi data acquisition\n\n\n\nNote: No ADC or converter is included — a module such as the HX711 is required to read the output. The load cell must be calibrated with known weights once installed.\n\n\n\nTip: Choose a load cell rated for at least 2× the maximum weight you intend to measure for the best precision within the usable range.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":4158,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-4542","price":7.71,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":98,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
