Load Cell Amplifier HX711 & Straight Bar Load Cell Weight Sensor 1kg | 5kg | 10kg | 20kg

Product Description

  Straight Bar Load Cell 1kg  | 5kg | 10kg | 20kg

  This straight bar load cell 1kg (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 1kg  | 5kg | 10kg | 20kg of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Load cells are designed to measure a specific force, and ignore other forces being applied. The electrical signal output by the load cell is very small and requires a load cell amplifier such as a HX711 load cell amplifier, or Sparkfun Openscale.

   Each straight bar load cell is made from an aluminum-alloy and is capable of reading a capacity of 1kg  | 5kg | 10kg | 20kg 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.

Load Cell Amplifier HX711

The Load Cell Amplifier HX711 modules allows you to easily read load cells to measure weight. By connecting the amplifier to your micro-controller such as an Arduino you will be able to read the changes in the resistance of the load cell, and with some calibration you’ll be able to get very accurate weight measurements. This can be handy for creating your own industrial scale, process control or simple presence detection.

The HX711 uses a two-wire interface (Clock and Data) for communication. Any microcontroller’s GPIO pins should work, and numerous libraries have been written, making it easy to read data from the HX711.
