How the Load Cell - 10kg Straight Bar Works ?
The Load Cell - 10kg Straight Bar operates based on strain gauge technology, which measures the deformation (strain) of the load cell when subjected to weight or force. Here's how it works:
Strain Gauge Arrangement: The load cell contains strain gauges arranged in a Wheatstone bridge configuration. When a weight is applied to the load cell, it causes the metal beam to deform slightly, changing the resistance of the strain gauges.
Excitation Voltage Application: An excitation voltage (typically between 5V to 10V DC) is applied to the load cell. This voltage energizes the strain gauges within the Wheatstone bridge circuit.
Output Measurement: As the strain gauges change resistance due to deformation, the Wheatstone bridge becomes unbalanced. This imbalance generates a small electrical signal proportional to the applied force or weight.
Amplification and Processing: The output signal from the load cell is typically weak and requires amplification for accurate measurement. It is then processed by an interfacing module such as the HX711 Load Cell ADC Amplifier.
Conversion to Weight: The amplified signal is converted into weight units using calibration factors. By calibrating the load cell with known weights, the relationship between the electrical signal and the applied force or weight can be established.
Display or Data Logging: The converted weight data can be displayed on a digital screen, transmitted to a computer or microcontroller for further processing, or logged for record-keeping purposes.
