Anatomy of the sensor
50kg Capacity
Rated for serious load-sensing, from kitchen scales to bench force meters.
Half-Bridge Design
Pairs with a second gauge or amplifier for a stable, accurate reading.

Compact Body
Small footprint slips into custom enclosures and tight prototypes.
HX711-Ready
Wires straight into the amplifier setups makers already use.

The problem
Industrial accuracy shouldn't need an industrial order
Proper strain gauges are usually sold in bulk to B2B buyers, leaving hobbyists stuck with unspecified $0.50 sensors of unknown accuracy. This half-bridge sensor is sold as a single, properly rated unit — the same sensing principle used in industrial scales, scaled down to bench-project pricing.
- 50kg half-bridge rating, stated upfront
- Sold as a single unit — no bulk minimums
- Built for scale, force, and weight-sensing projects
From sensor to reading
- Step 01
Mount the sensor
Fix the half-bridge sensor to your load point or enclosure frame.
- Step 02
Wire to an amplifier
Connect to an HX711-style amplifier module alongside your microcontroller.
- Step 03
Read the output
Pull calibrated weight data into your Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or custom board.
A closer look



Single sensor vs. bulk supplier order

Fits your build
Built for maker benches, not factory floors
This sensor is sized and specified for the way makers actually build: breadboards, small enclosures, and microcontroller-driven prototypes. Pair it with your existing HX711-style amplifier and your sensing project moves from idea to working reading.
- Compact enough for custom enclosures
- Works alongside common HX711-style amplifiers
- Suited to scales, force meters, and IoT weight sensing
