Load Cell - 10kg, Straight Bar with Hook (HX711)

This straight bar load cell, also known as a strain gauge, is a remarkable device that can convert up to 10kg of pressure or force into an electrical signal. It accurately measures the change in electrical resistance, which is proportional to the strain applied to the bar. With this load cell, you can easily determine an object's weight, track weight changes over time, or simply detect an object's presence by measuring the strain on a surface. This load cell comes with hardware ending in a hook, making it incredibly easy to install and hang. Crafted from an aluminum - alloy, it has a 10kg reading capacity. It features four strain gauges arranged in a wheatstone bridge formation. The wiring color code is: red = Exc+, green = Sig+, black = Exc-, and white = Sig-. The load cell offers comprehensive accuracy of 0.05 %F.S and has excellent performance in various aspects such as output sensitivity, zero output, and more. It also comes with a datasheet for your reference.

Using this load cell is a breeze. First, find a suitable place to hang it using the hook. You can attach the object whose weight you want to measure to the hook. Power it up with a voltage between 3 - 12 V. Make sure the operating temperature is between - 10°C and + 50°C. When taking measurements, keep in mind the load cell's capacity of 10kg. Don't exceed 150 %F.S of the load, or it might damage the device. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or high - humidity environments. Check the wiring regularly to ensure the color - coded connections are secure. If you want more detailed technical information, refer to the datasheet.
