3140 - S Type Load Cell (0-500kg) - CZL301
All prices are VAT included
A load cell is a force sensing module - a carefully designed metal structure, with small elements called strain gauges mounted in precise locations on the structure. Load cells are designed to measure a specific type of force, and ignore other forces being applied. This S-Type load cell can be operated in compression or tension with up to 500 kilograms of force. The electrical signal output from the load cell is very small and requires specialized amplification. Fortunately, the 1046 PhidgetBridge will perform all the amplification and measurement of the electrical output.
The following table shows how to connect the Load Cell Wires to the bridge connectors.
| Wire Color | Red | Green | White | Black/Yellow |
| Bridge Connector | 5V | + | - | GND |
