To measure weight and load of any object we use strain gauges but problem with using standalone strain gauge is that they are fragile and are easily bent and break if not used in proper enclosure. This load cell made up of aluminium alloy can measure upto 1 kg load and outputs in the form of electrical signals proportionally. This sensor will use a HX711 Analog to Digital signal converter, it is easy to use with driving voltage 5-10V and produce the output voltage as per the force changes over it, to read and send the data to the microcontroller or development board you are using as the analog signal from the load cell is too small to be read easily. They are used in Platform scales, Electronic weighing machines, belt scales etc.

Note: The HX711 Load Cell Amplifier Sensor module has to be purchased spaeratly.
