SOP SOPLY-105 S-Type Load Cell Sensor 100kg, 1.0mV/V, 0.03%F.S, IP65, Stainless Steel

The SOPLY-105 provides a standard Wheatstone bridge output with a sensitivity of 1.0mV/V. This means for every volt of excitation (typically 5-10V DC), the full-scale output will be 1.0mV. You will need a dedicated load cell amplifier or instrumentation module (HX711, INA125, etc.) to amplify this low-level signal, convert it to a digital format, and interface it with a microcontroller, PLC, or data acquisition system.

Yes, the S-Type design is inherently suitable for both tensile (pulling) and compressive (pushing) force measurements. Its symmetrical construction allows it to be mounted in either orientation. Ensure your mounting hardware and mechanical stops are configured correctly to prevent overloading and side loads, which can affect accuracy and damage the sensor.

An IP65 rating indicates the load cell is dust-tight (IP6X) and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction (IPX5). This makes it suitable for industrial environments where it may be exposed to washdowns, dust, or humidity. However, it is not submersible or suitable for high-pressure, direct hose-downs. Ensure cable glands and connections are also properly sealed to maintain the rating.
