The 5Kg Load Cell Weight Sensor is a strain-gauge sensor used to measure force and weight in digital scales and weighing systems. With a 5Kg rated capacity, it suits small kitchen scales, parcel scales, hobby projects, and lab or workshop measurement setups. It is a popular choice for makers, students, and anyone building a custom weighing device with a microcontroller such as Arduino.
Key features
- 5Kg rated load capacity for light to medium weighing tasks.
- Strain-gauge design that converts applied weight into a readable signal.
- Compact, lightweight body that fits easily into custom enclosures and platforms.
- Commonly paired with an amplifier module for clear, stable readings.
- Simple to mount and integrate into DIY and electronics projects.
Typical uses
- Building or repairing small digital and kitchen scales.
- Arduino and microcontroller weighing projects.
- Parcel, ingredient, and portion weighing setups.
- Educational electronics experiments and prototypes.
How to choose / tips
- Match the load cell capacity to the maximum weight you plan to measure — 5Kg works well for lighter loads.
- Mount the sensor firmly between a fixed base and the weighing platform for accurate results.
- Pair it with a compatible amplifier module to read the signal on your controller.
- Calibrate with a known weight before relying on your readings.
