10 kg load cell for accurate weight and force measurement, ideal for applications such as industrial scales, load detection, and robotics. Provides precise readings with high reliability, easily integrating with microcontrollers for real-time data in your projects.
A 10kg Load Cell is designed
to measure weights up to 10 kilograms. It converts force or weight into an
electrical signal, which can be processed and measured by a microcontroller or
signal-processing system.
Key
Points About a 10kg Load Cell
Function
Measures force or weight like other load cells, but is
specifically designed for weights up to 10kg, making it suitable for
heavier objects.
How It Works
Uses strain gauges that slightly deform under an
applied load.
This deformation changes the electrical resistance of
the strain gauge, generating a small, proportional voltage output.
Common Types
Single-Point Load Cells
Compression or Tension Load Cells
Wiring
Equipped with 4 wires:
Excitation+ (E+) and Excitation- (E-)
for power input.
Signal+ (S+) and Signal- (S-) for
the output signal, which corresponds to the measured weight.
The small signal output typically needs to be
amplified, often with a module like the HX711, for use with
microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi.
