This 50kg load cell is a strain gauge based force and weight transducer designed for higher capacity measurement systems. Manufactured from aluminum alloy, it converts mechanical force and pressure into a proportional electrical signal for accurate weight detection in digital scales, industrial automation systems, and embedded electronics projects. This 3-wire load cell is commonly used in bathroom scales and platform scale designs where multiple sensors are combined to measure larger total loads. Specifications Rated capacity: 50kg per sensor Sensor material: Aluminum alloy Dimensions: 34mm x 34mm x 7.8mm Strain gauge based force and pressure sensing element 3-wire half-bridge configuration Wiring Wire Colour Function Red Excitation Positive (E+) Black Excitation Negative (E-) White Signal Output Bridge Configuration Options Single Sensor Configuration Use one sensor with an external precision resistor to form a full-bridge measurement circuit. Measuring range: 50kg. External resistor selection affects measurement stability and accuracy. Two Sensor Configuration Use two 50kg sensors to form a full-bridge measurement. Total measuring range: 50kg x 2 = 100kg. Four Sensor Configuration Use four 50kg sensors to form a complete full-bridge platform scale system. Total measuring range: 50kg x 4 = 200kg. This configuration is commonly used in bathroom scales where one sensor is placed at each corner. Applications Bathroom scales Platform weighing scales Industrial batching systems Material handling and warehouse weight monitoring Custom Arduino and ESP32 weight measurement projects Because this is a half-bridge load cell, it requires bridge completion before connecting to a signal amplifier. For digital measurement and calibration, pair with the HX711 Load Cell Amplifier.
