Load Cell 1kg – Straight Bar Weight Sensor

Straight Bar Load Cell 1Kg

This straight bar load cell 1kg (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 1KG of pressure (force) into an electrical signal, It is designed to measure a specific force, and ignore other forces being applied. The electrical signal output by the sensor is very small and requires a load cell amplifier such as a HX711 load cell amplifier.

The Sensor is made from an aluminum-alloy and is capable of reading a capacity of 1KG and designed to measure force in one direction. They will often measure force in other directions, but the sensor sensitivity will be different, since parts of the load cell operating under compression are now in tension, and vice versa.

Specification:

• Material: Aluminum
• Dimensions: 75×12.5×12.5mm
• Range: 1kg
• Rated output 1.0 ± 0.1mV / V

Description

Strain-gauge beam operating in the range of up to 1 kg (approx. 10 N). The smallest version is used, for example, in kitchen scales, portable scales. The connecting cable has tips with the removed insulation, and its length is 20 cm.

Connection:

• Red cable: input voltage, positive pole (+)
• Black wire: input voltage negative pole (-)
• Green wire: output signal +
• White wire: output signal –
