Description

This straight bar load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 5kg of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that changes in response to, and proportional of, the strain (e.g. pressure or force) applied to the bar. With this gauge you will be able to tell just how heavy an object is, if an object’s weight changes over time, or if you simply need to sense the presence of an object by measuring strain or load applied to a surface.

Each straight bar load cell is made from an aluminum-alloy and is capable of reading a capacity of 5kg.

The full-bridge structure, the four leads, easy to use, plus driving voltage 5-10V, force changes in the output voltage signal directly.
Wiring:

Red voltage + E,

Black line voltage -E,

Green line signals + S,

White line signal -S

The sensor is fixed at one end through the screw hole, and the other end left floating state, applied according to label directions direction of gravity. In particular, note that you must not directly push the white plastic cover part, in order to avoid damage of the sensor.
