Component Description
Precision 5 kg Load Cell – Ultra‑Low Noise & 0.05 % Accuracy
Designed for applications that demand reliable weight measurement up to 5 kg, this sensor employs a high‑grade X‑Y strain‑gauge array bonded to a lightweight, low‑expansion aluminum alloy platform. Its fully balanced Wheatstone bridge layout delivers a linear, low‑noise voltage output (typ. 100–200 mV at 5 V excitation) ideal for high‑resolution ADCs such as the HX711. The sensor’s small footprint (125 mm × 42 mm) and IP65 protection make it suitable for portable scales, pick‑and‑place robots, and IoT‑enabled smart baskets.
Key technical merits include a factory‑calibrated accuracy of ±0.05 % FS (±2.5 g), repeatability better than ±0.02 % FS, and a temperature coefficient of ±0.02 % FS/°C after built‑in compensation. The sensor’s mirrored metal case preserves dimensional stability, while the integrated helical magnetic calibration reduces long‑term drift. Dual PAS (Position and Acoustics System) compatibility ensures that the load cell can be seamlessly integrated into both PLC‑based and PLC‑free automation stacks.
- Key Spec 1: Accuracy – ±0.05 % full‑scale (±2.5 g)
- Key Spec 2: Temperature Compensation – ±0.02 % FS per °C, zero‑drift <0.1 % FS over –20 °C to +70 °C
- Key Spec 3: Output – 4‑wire bridge, 20 mV/V excitation, 100–200 mV range with 5 V supply
- Common Use Case: Industrial robotic pick‑and‑place load monitoring, smart factory smart‑scale pallets, and IoT-connected commerce kiosks.
