The 5 KG Load Cell is a strain gauge-based weight sensor capable of measuring up to 5 kilograms. When paired with an HX711 amplifier, it provides accurate weight measurements for digital scales and force sensing applications.
Key features
- 5kg maximum capacity
- Strain gauge technology
- High accuracy with proper calibration
- 4-wire configuration (Excitation+, Excitation-, Signal+, Signal-)
- Aluminum alloy construction
- Compact size
- Compatible with HX711 amplifier
Good to know
- Requires HX711 amplifier module for Arduino interfacing
- Calibrate with known weights for accuracy
- Mount securely with proper mechanical fixtures
- Do not exceed rated load – permanent damage will occur
- Temperature affects readings – allow thermal stabilization
- 4-wire connection reduces error from cable resistance
