Adafruit Strain Gauge Load Cell - 4 Wires - 10Kg

This 10 Kg strain gauge is a high-precision electronic sensor designed to measure force or strain. At 80mm in length, it offers the same functionality as its 75mm counterpart while being available at a discounted price. The gauge consists of a delicate metallic foil pattern affixed to an insulating, flexible backing.

Featuring reliable construction, the strain gauge is securely attached with epoxy to a robust aluminum chunk, preventing damage and limiting movement. It includes mounting holes for secure attachment to a fixed structure and offers the versatility to measure weight through gravitational pull or tension by applying force in the indicated direction.

The output resistance varies with deflection, necessitating a precision ADC or Wheatstone bridge for measurement. Ideal for applications involving pressure, force, weight, and tension assessment, this strain gauge requires calibration with known weights for accuracy. Note that the strain gauge is sold as a standalone load cell, without ADC or converter. It is also available in 1 Kg, 5 Kg, and 20 Kg variations, ensuring precise measurements for your specific needs.
