80kg load cell for a custom weighing system
This strain-gauge load cell converts applied mechanical load into an electrical signal for a suitable measurement circuit. It is listed with an 80kg capacity and an aluminium-alloy body for integration into compatible weighing assemblies.
It can be considered for a custom digital scale, parcel-weighing prototype or educational measurement project. A usable scale also needs a suitable platform, mounting arrangement, electronics, software and calibration.
Listed sensor details
- Sensor type: strain-gauge load cell.
- Listed capacity: 80kg.
- Body: aluminium alloy.
- Purpose: sensing load in a compatible weighing assembly.
Amplifier and controller requirements
A compatible HX711 load-cell amplifier is one possible interface for a microcontroller-based build. Check the sensor’s wiring, excitation requirements and output characteristics against the amplifier before connecting it. Do not assume a wire-colour pinout or connect an unspecified load-cell output directly to a digital input.
Arduino, ESP32 or Raspberry Pi projects require appropriate interface electronics, logic-level compatibility and software. The sensor is not a self-contained USB scale.
Mounting and calibration matter
Rated capacity is not measurement resolution or accuracy. The finished system’s performance depends on mechanical installation, load direction, electronics, temperature conditions and calibration with suitable known weights.
Confirm mounting dimensions, wiring, excitation voltage, sensitivity, accuracy class and environmental protection if your application requires them; those numerical specifications are not established here. Avoid overload and impact loads, and follow the supplied sensor’s mounting guidance.
No legal-for-trade approval or calibrated-system certification is claimed. Browse load sensors at EPRO for other options.
Frequently asked questions
Does 80kg mean it measures to a particular precision?
No. It is the listed capacity, not a specified resolution or accuracy.
Is an HX711 included?
An amplifier is not listed as an included accessory. Confirm package contents before ordering.
