Sparkfun SEN-14727 Sensor module 1 pc(s) Compatible with (development kits): Arduino

This miniature straight-rod load cell (sometimes called strain gauges) can translate up to 100g pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is capable of measuring and proportional to the electrical resistance which changes in response to the strain applied to the rod (e.g. pressure or force). With this measuring device you can determine how heavy an object is, whether the weight of an object changes over time or whether you simply have to detect the presence of an object by measuring the strain or the stress exerted on a surface.
Each straight-rod load cell is made of aluminum alloy and can display a capacity of 100g. These load cells have four strain gauges that are connected in a wheat stone bridge formation. The color code on the wiring is as follows: Red = Exc+, green = SIG+, black = Exc-, and white = SIG-. In addition, these load cells offer protection class IP65 and have four through holes of size M3 for mounting.
