Description

The Phaeton B05 load cell operates on the principle of a bonded metallic strain gauge. When a force is applied to the sensor’s sensing element, it causes a minute deformation, which changes the electrical resistance of the strain gauge. This change in resistance is proportional to the applied load and is output as a millivolt-level signal relative to the excitation voltage.

Designed for stability, the sensor features a compact, screw-fastened aluminum alloy body that minimizes mechanical creep and provides a secure mounting solution. Its high sensitivity and low nonlinearity make it suitable for applications requiring precise weight or force measurement within a limited space envelope.

Key Features

  • High-Precision Strain Gauge: Delivers a calibrated sensitivity of 1.0±0.1 mV/V for accurate force-to-voltage conversion.
  • Robust Mechanical Design: Constructed from aluminum alloy with integrated mounting holes for secure, vibration-resistant installation.
  • Excellent Signal Stability: Features low temperature drift and a nonlinearity of ≤0.03% of full scale for consistent, repeatable readings.
  • Standard Bridge Configuration: Utilizes a standard 4-wire Wheatstone bridge output (Excitation+, Excitation-, Signal+, Signal-) for straightforward interfacing.
  • Compact Form Factor: Optimized footprint allows for integration into space-constrained equipment and assemblies.
  • Wide Compatibility: Output signal is compatible with common instrumentation amplifiers, HX711 modules, and industrial PLC analog input cards.

Applications

  • Precision bench-top scales and compact electronic weighing systems.
  • Force feedback and load monitoring in small robotic grippers and actuators.
  • Process control and batch weighing in laboratory and light industrial equipment.
  • Overload protection and tension measurement in conveyor and feeding mechanisms.
  • Educational projects for demonstrating strain gauge and Wheatstone bridge principles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended excitation voltage for the Phaeton B05 load cell?

The B05 load cell is designed for a typical excitation voltage of 5 to 10 Volts DC. Applying a stable voltage within this range ensures the specified sensitivity of 1.0 mV/V and optimal signal-to-noise ratio for your measurement circuit.

How do I wire and interface this load cell with an amplifier like the HX711?

Connect the load cell's 4 wires to your amplifier: Red to E+, Green to E-, Black to A+, and White to A-. The HX711 module provides the necessary bridge excitation and amplifies the small mV signal to a digital output readable by microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

Can this sensor measure both compression and tension forces?

The B05 is primarily designed as a benchtop-style load cell for compressive (downward) forces. Its mounting design and internal strain gauge configuration are optimized for this loading direction. Using it for significant tensile forces may affect accuracy and is not recommended.

What is the significance of the '1.0 mV/V' sensitivity rating?

A sensitivity of 1.0 mV/V means that for every 1 Volt of excitation applied, the load cell will output 1.0 millivolts at its full-scale load (3 kg). For example, with a 5V excitation and a 1.5 kg load (half-scale), the expected output voltage would be approximately 2.5 mV.
