iLoad Mini Load Cell
Cilck Here to Buy

 The iLoad Mini Series load cell is designed for applications where size is a major constraint. The iLoad Mini is only 1.25" in diameter and outputs a 5V TTL square wave whose frequency is proportional to applied loads.

  Loadstar’s iLoad Mini load cell is based on the same Capacitive Technology as the iLoad and iLoad Pro load cells. However, it differs in one important respect–the Mini outputs a square wave whose frequency is proportional to the applied load. The Mini, the smallest load cell currently offered by Loadstar Sensors, is a small circular sensor with a diameter of just 1.25 in. and is available with either a threaded stud or a load button on top of the load cell. It has three threaded holes on the bottom of the sensor to easily mount the load cell with commonly available hardware.

If your application needs an analog (0-5V or 2mV/V) or digital USB output from the iLoad Mini the DQ-1000A or DQ-1000U are available as options.

Unlike conventional resistive sensors based on either strain gauges or piezo-resistive techniques, Loadstar’s breakthrough patented technology harnesses changes in capacitance to measure loads quickly and accurately. In the Mini, the change in capacitance is converted into a change in frequency of the output signal.

The load cell accepts a 5V DC input and outputs a TTL square wave whose frequency is proportional to the applied load. Most data acquisition systems, microprocessors and microcontrollers have the capability to measure the frequency of the signal.

The iLoad Mini load cell has 2 frequency outputs. When Control Input = logic '1', the Mini outputs the sensor frequency, Fsensor. When Control Input = logic '0', the Mini ouputs the reference frequency, Fref. The compensated frequency Fcomp = Fsensor - K*Fref, where K is a constant provided by Loadstar. Loadstar provides the coefficients for the quadratic equation to translate Fcomp to load.
