Description

The SOP601 load cell operates on the strain gauge principle, where applied force causes a proportional change in electrical resistance, outputting a millivolt signal relative to the excitation voltage. This Wheatstone bridge configuration ensures high sensitivity and linearity for precise weight measurement.

Constructed from aluminum alloy and featuring an IP65 environmental rating, the sensor is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for use in commercial scales, vending machines, and light industrial environments. Its compact, single-point design allows for straightforward mounting and integration into automated platforms.

Key Features

  • High-precision strain gauge sensor with ±0.02% accuracy.
  • Rugged aluminum alloy body ensures durability and long-term stability.
  • IP65-rated enclosure provides reliable operation in dusty or damp conditions.
  • Low thermal drift specification maintains accuracy across a range of operating temperatures.
  • Standard 2.0mV/V sensitivity compatible with most instrumentation amplifiers.
  • Compact and lightweight design simplifies mechanical integration.
  • Ideal for OEM applications requiring repeatable, low-capacity force measurement.

Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the SOP601 load cell and how do I connect it?

The SOP601 outputs a differential millivolt signal proportional to the applied load, with a standard sensitivity of 2.0mV/V. You must connect it to a precision instrumentation amplifier or a dedicated load cell interface module (like an HX711) to convert the small analog signal into a digital reading for microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Proper excitation voltage (typically 5V or 10V) must be supplied to the sensor's input wires.

Can this 5kg load cell be used outdoors or in wet environments?

Yes, the sensor's IP65 rating provides protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for use in damp or dusty environments like commercial kitchens or outdoor vending units. However, it is not submersible and should not be subjected to high-pressure water cleaning or fully submerged.

What is the mounting procedure for a single-point load cell like the SOP601?

Single-point load cells are designed to be mounted at one end (fixed), with the load applied to the opposite, free end. The base must be securely fastened to a rigid, flat surface. Ensure the load is applied correctly to the active area to avoid side loads or moments that can damage the sensor or cause measurement errors. The included 2-meter cable allows for flexible placement relative to your signal conditioning electronics.
