This straight bar load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 10kg 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 10kg.

This module uses 24 high-precision A / D converter chip hx711, is designed for high-precision electronic scale and design, with two analog channel input, the internal integration of a gain programmable amplifier 128. Input circuit can be configured to provide an electrical bridge bridge voltage (such as pressure, weight) sensor model is an ideal high-precision, low-cost sampling front-end module, Two selectable differential input channels
