How It Works

The straight bar load cell uses a strain gauge mechanism. When a weight or force is applied, the strain gauge slightly deforms, changing its electrical resistance. This produces a millivolt-level analog signal proportional to the applied load, which can be read and processed using a microcontroller with an HX711 amplifier module.

The sensor’s design ensures linear response with minimal hysteresis, providing stable and precise measurements for weights up to 10kg. Its robust alloy steel construction ensures reliability in repeated or continuous measurement applications.

Example Project

A typical project is a smart digital scale. The load cell measures weight, and an Arduino or Raspberry Pi reads the signal via an HX711 amplifier, displaying the accurate weight on an LCD or touchscreen.

Another example is a robotic gripper where the load cell detects the gripping force applied to objects, ensuring safe handling of medium-weight items. It is also ideal for industrial conveyor monitoring or automated packaging systems.
