## 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. Mount 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. Key Features 10 kg Capacity – Suitable for scales, force measurement, and tension monitoring 4-Wire Connection – Standard Wheatstone bridge wiring for easy integration Aluminium Construction – Protects the strain gauge and provides consistent deflection Mounting Holes – Secure attachment to enclosures or frames Ideal For DIY scales and weighing systems Force and pressure measurement projects Tension monitoring Arduino and Raspberry Pi data acquisition Note: 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. Tip: Choose a load cell rated for at least 2× the maximum weight you intend to measure for the best precision within the usable range.
