These tiny load cells have good accuracy and stability for use in compression. They are available in 150 g, 500 g, 1 kg, 5 lb, 10 lb and 50 lb capacities, with diameters less than 10 mm and height as low as stud as low as 3.3 mm.

USB Load Cell Configuration

RSB5 Subminiature Load Cell Configuration

Simply connect the load cell to the DI-1000 Digital Load Cell Interface & use the USB out port on the DI-1000 to connect to a PC via the USB port. The DI-1000U is a signal conditioner and 24-bit digitizer and handles all the communications functions to talk with USB port of a PC.  When connected this way, the load cell appears on the PC as a virtual COM port. Using a standard terminal emulator you can send commands to the sensor to display loads on screen. They can either be one at a time or in continuous operation mode. You can also use Matlab, LabView or other popular programs to communicate and get calibrated readings from the load cell.  Alternatively, use our application (LoadVUE) to display, log or plot load measurements on a PC.

If you do not need high precision, you can use the DI-100U digital load cell interface with 16 bit ADCs and Serial TTL or USB output.

In certain applications, you might require an Analog 0-5 V DC output from the load cell to communicate with a PLC or another existing Data Acquisition System.  In such cases, you can use our load cell signal conditioner - the AI-1000 device to obtain a 0-5 V DC Analog output from the load cell.

If you need a physical LED display directly connected to the load cell, then you can purchase the RD-1000 LED load cell indicator with the load cell.

  • One RSB5 single point load cell
  • One AI-1000 0-5V DC load cell interface

  • Buy RAP3 Analog load cell kit

    Some users want a high level 0-5V analog DC output in order to work with existing data acquisition systems or PLCs. Ih that case, you can use this load cell with our AI-1000 Load Cell interface which provides an amplified 0.5 to 4.5V output proportional to the applied loads. We can provide the system together with calibration and the formula to convert from voltage to loads/forces when ordered in this configuration.
