40Kg Load Cell

40kg Load Cell Overview

A load cell is a transducer that converts a force (usually weight) into an electrical signal. The 40kg load cell is designed to measure weights up to 40kilograms with high precision, commonly used in electronic weighing scales, industrial measurement systems, and DIY projects.

Key Features

• Capacity: 40kg maximum load

• Type: Strain gauge load cell (commonly a single-point or S-type)

• Output Signal: Typically 2mV/V 1% at full scale

• Excitation Voltage: 510V DC

• Material: Alloy steel or stainless steel (durable and corrosion-resistant)

• Accuracy Class: 0.10.2% of full ing: Pre-drilled holes for screws; can be mounted on flat surfaces

• Temperature Range: 10C to +40C (operating)

• Applications: Scales, robotic force measurement, industrial automation, laboratory balances, and load testing

How It Works

• Force Applied: When a weight is placed on the load cell, it exerts a force on the sensing element.

• Strain Gauge Response: The internal strain gauge deforms slightly.

• Electrical Signal Change: The deformation changes the resistance in the strain gauge, generating a tiny voltage variation.

• Signal Amplification: An amplifier (like an HX711) converts this small signal into a readable digital value.

Technical Specifications (Typical)

Wire Color Code (4-Wire Typical)

• Red: Excitation+ (VCC)
