10Kg Load Cell
A 10 kg load cell is a load cell that is designed to measure forces or weights up to 10 kg (22 lbs). Each load cell can measure the electrical resistance, which changes in response to and is proportional to the strain (e.g., pressure or force) applied to the bar. You can use this gauge to determine how heavy an object is, if the weight of an object changes over time, or if you simply need to detect the presence of an object by measuring strain or load applied to a surface. This straight bar load cell is made of Aluminium alloy and can read a weight capacity of 10KG. It has four lead wires for connecting to the HX711 A/D Pressure Sensor. It is simple to use with a driving voltage of 5-10V and produces output voltage as force changes over it. Installation of the Sensor is also a simple task; it is necessary to fix one end through the screw hole and leave the other end floating in order to indicate the direction of the gravitational force exerted. Special care must be taken not to directly push the white plastic cover part of the sensor in order to avoid damage.
A load cell is used in an electronic weighing machine to measure the load or pressure produced by the load; most load cells use the strain gauge method, which converts the pressure (force) into an electrical signal; these load cells have four strain gauges connected in a Wheatstone bridge formation. When we apply a load, the strain gauge resistance changes, and thus the output voltage from the load cell changes, allowing us to measure the load value.
If you want to use this load cell you need few essential elements like hx711, Arduino , jumper wires , display module and soldering tools . There are other types of load cell also available , according to your requirement
Applications:
- Electronic platform scale
- Digital scale
- Parcel post scale
- Electronic balance
