8kg Load Cell Sensor for Digital Scales and Industrial Weighing

This 8kg load cell sensor is a strain-gauge force transducer designed to convert mechanical weight into a measurable electrical signal. The sensor uses four resistive strain gauges on an alloy steel element, delivering a rated output of 1.0 mV/V with nonlinearity of 0.08% F.S and repeatability of 0.05% F.S. Its IP65-rated housing protects the internal bridge from dust and water spray, making it suitable for industrial scales and production environments where hygiene and durability matter. The 26 mm by 26 mm footprint and dual M5 mounting holes allow secure installation in platform scales, conveyor belt weighers, and hopper weighing systems. Operating from a recommended 5V DC excitation, this weight sensor produces an analog millivolt signal that pairs directly with HX711-type amplifiers and microcontroller-based scale designs. The operating temperature range of -20°C to 65°C covers most indoor industrial and laboratory conditions, and the low temperature effect on zero (0.05% F.S/°C) helps maintain accuracy across normal workshop temperature swings. Safe overload is rated at 120% F.S and ultimate overload at 150% F.S, providing a margin of protection against accidental overloading. Whether used for a bench scale, a filling line, or a force measurement rig, this aluminum load cell offers a practical combination of accuracy, ruggedness, and straightforward analog interfacing for weighing and force-sensing applications.
