This 20kg load cell is a force and weight transducer built from durable aluminum alloy with an internal strain gauge for accurate pressure-to-electrical signal conversion. Designed to measure weight and force in scales, industrial systems, robotics, and embedded electronics, it delivers reliable performance for a wide range of applications.

Specifications

• Rated capacity: 20kg
• Sensor material: Aluminum alloy
• Dimensions: 12.7mm x 12.7mm x 80mm
• Strain gauge based force and pressure sensing

Wiring

Mounting Details

• Two 4mm fixed holes
• Two 5mm fixed holes
• Fixed hole distance of 15mm

To interface this load cell with microcontrollers or digital systems youll need a signal amplifier. We recommend the HX711 Load Cell Amplifier for accurate digital conversion and calibration.

How to Pick the Right Load Cell

Selecting the correct load cell depends on the expected maximum weight or force in your application and the precision you require:

• Choose a capacity slightly above the highest load you plan to measure to avoid overloading the strain gauge and ensure long sensor life.
• For applications with frequent light loads, choose a lower rated capacity to maximize sensitivity and resolution.
