Product Description

A load cell is a force sensing module - a carefully designed metal structure, with small elements called strain gauges mounted in precise locations on the structure. Load cells are designed to measure a specific force, and ignore other forces being applied. The electrical signal output by the load cell is very small and requires specialized amplification. Fortunately, the 1046 PhidgetBridge will perform all the amplification and measurement of the electrical output.

This Button Load Cell is used in applications that require a thin form factor. The bottom of the load cell is bolted, and force applied to the button on the top. By loading only the button, which is slightly rounded, the load cell is less sensitive to errors resulting from the load not pushing down exactly straight on the load cell.

Warning

Make sure to calibrate your load cell before using it. You can find information on how to calibrate the cell in the 3136 Datasheet. You should also look at the 1046 – PhidgetBridge Product Manual.

The 3136 connects to a bridge on the 1046 – PhidgetBridge 4-Input
