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.

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.
