Lightweight load cell 2kg 5kg 10kg micro weight sensor for aircraft weighing
Miniature size light-weight load cell sensor FMZC is strain gauge based to deliver 1.0mV/V output from full wheatstone bridge. Small load sensor FMZC offers 2kg / 3kg / 5kg / 10kg four measuring ranges to choose from,high accuracy with maximum 0.1% non-linearity of the full capacity.The 1000 ohms resistance strain gauges used are more energy-efficient compared to common 350 ohms gauges.The compact size(L*W*H=22*8*5mm) and aluminum material makes FMZC weighs only about 2.2 grams which makes it suitable for weight measuring applications where total mass matters and mounting space is limited.Micro load cell FMZC offers a perfect mixture of small size,high accuracy and low cost,which makes weight sensor FMZC suitable for weight monitoring in consumer electronics.You may find weight transducer FMZC applicable for home appliances, force simulators, aircraft, process control, robotics, drones, automotive and so on.Forsentek is also capable of and willing to provide custom made service if you cannot find suitable weight/load/force measurement sensors from the standard product portfolio.

A load cell is a transducer that converts mechanical load into mV signal proportional to the applied force.The acting load causes deformation of the measuring element,the bonded strain gage deforms accordingly which will cause the resistance change of the wheatstone bridge,under constant power supply, the output signal between Sig+ and Sig- will change proportionally,thus the weight/load/force can be measured by measuring the output signal from the transducer.
Load cell output: = (Power supply * Rated output) * Load / Capacity
Rated output is normally within 1mV/V~3mV/V.
Power supply is normally within 3-15V.
Load / Capacity is within 0-1.
So the load cell output signal is normally within 0-45mV(-45mV...+45mV for bidirectional load cell).
Example one: 1.0mV/V load cell with 10V power supply,the output range is 0~10mV (-10mV...+10mV for bidirectional sensor).
Example two: 1.0mV/V loadcell with 5V power supply,the output range is 0~5mV (-5mV...+5mV for bidirectional sensor).
