Description

The Y3 Strain Gauge Bending Sensor Module (Version B) utilizes a precision strain gauge bonded to a bending beam structure. When force is applied, the resulting strain alters the gauge’s electrical resistance. The integrated high-gain instrumentation amplifier conditions this small signal, providing a robust, linear analog voltage output proportional to the applied load.

Designed for 5V DC systems, the module simplifies interfacing by eliminating the need for external signal conditioning circuits. Its compact form factor and straightforward analog output make it suitable for integration into electronic weighing scales, force feedback systems, and industrial process monitoring where reliable, amplified load cell signals are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this Y3 module?

The module is designed for a nominal 5V DC power supply. It is critical to stay within this specified voltage to ensure proper amplifier operation and accurate analog signal output. Exceeding 5V may damage the onboard electronics.

How do I interface this module with an Arduino?

Connect the module's VCC and GND to the Arduino's 5V and GND pins, respectively. The analog output pin of the module should be connected to one of the Arduino's analog input pins (e.g., A0). The Arduino can then read the voltage value using its ADC and convert it to a weight or force value through calibration.

Does this module require calibration?

Yes, for accurate weight or force measurement, the module requires a two-point calibration. You will need to record the analog output values at a known zero load (tare) and at a known full-scale load. A linear calibration curve can then be programmed into your microcontroller to translate the raw voltage reading into an accurate measurement.

What is the maximum load this sensor can measure?

The product listing does not specify a maximum load capacity. The practical measurement range is determined by the mechanical limits of the bending beam and the output saturation point of the internal amplifier. For specific applications, it is recommended to test the module within safe mechanical limits and characterize its output linearity.
