50Kg Load Cell Weighing Sensor – High Precision Weight Sensor
50Kg Load Cell Weighing Sensor
The 50Kg load cell weighing sensor is a precision strain gauge transducer that converts mechanical force into an electrical signal. It is commonly used in digital scales, process control, and force measurement applications. With a capacity up to 50kg and high linearity, it provides reliable readings for both hobbyist and industrial projects.

Compatibility
This sensor works with any microcontroller that has an analog input, provided you use a suitable amplifier. It is commonly paired with the HX711 load cell amplifier module for Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi Pico. The differential output signal is in the millivolt range and requires amplification before reading.
Wiring Notes
Typical wire colors: red (E+), black (E-), green (A+), white (A-). Connect to an HX711 board accordingly. Limit excitation voltage to 15V DC; current consumption is negligible. Keep wiring short and away from high-frequency noise sources.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, when used with an HX711 load cell amplifier module, this sensor interfaces easily with Arduino. Simply connect the load cell wires to the HX711 and use the HX711 library for Arduino.
What is the maximum weight it can measure safely?
The sensor is rated for 50 kg, but can withstand up to 75 kg (150% overload) briefly. For accurate and repeatable measurements, stay within the rated load.
Does it come with an HX711 module?
No, this listing includes only the load cell. You will need to purchase an HX711 amplifier board separately, which is available in our store.
