50KG Load Cell Sensor
50KG Load Cell Sensor has a 5-10 day lead time before dispatch. Order will only be sent once all items are available for delivery.
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.
