Existing reviews of Strain Gauge Load Cell, S type, 5kg/20kg/30kg/500kg to 7 ton
I purchased a 5kg load cell. I supplied 10V to it and placed it horizontally on the table. I was expecting that there should be no force exerting on the force sensor axis, but the voltage output reading is still about 1.75 mV. On the spec sheet, it says the zero output is 0.1 mV. Why it is not showing the zero output when there is zero force applied on it?

Yes, the output of the weighing sensor in the unloaded state is generally within the range of ± 0.02mV. If you get 1.75mV, it is abnormal. You can send us the measurement photos and sensor nameplate label pictures to our technical support, and they will help you.
I want to change the order to capacity: 5 ton with a pair of hooks instead of 5kg with a pair of hooks, what will be the extra price required for that modification "2 units"?

If the capacity of the load cell is changed to 5 ton, we will not be able to provide a pair of hooks to match it. This accessory is only suitable for load cells with a capacity of less than 500Kg.
We have a load cell that outputs 4-5V at zero load, model: ATO-LCS-DYLY-102. I checked our amplifier and the excitation voltage is correct at 10V. I feel like it's overloaded, we may only need to purchase a new one. But I would like to know if you can think of any other possible issues that could lead to this situation?

This load cell is excited by 5/10V power supply, and output mV-grade signal which is linearly proportional to strain caused by weight.
Clearly, judging from the phenomenon you reported, we can say this load cell is broken without further inspection. And we think weight overload is the cause for this issue.
Safety overload of this load cell is 150%F.S, if weight placed upon exceeds this limit, there is no guarantee that the load cell can still function.
Can the gauge connect to an Arduino?
Can the gauge connect to an Arduino for or my own devices?

You can't connect it directly, you need to add a transmitter to turn the signal into standard analog or digital, and then connect it to the Arduino.
How can this load be mitted for the safe performance of the load cell?
As you know, we will mount the load cell horizontally. As a result, the protection against transverse load and bending moment is very important to us. I have some queries:
You have already informed me that the transverse load (limit is 100% of the full scale). But why it is 100% of the full scale? How can this load be mitted for the safe performance of the load cell? How are you mitigating the effect of transverse load? What is the working principle here?
If a load is being applied offset from the center axis. How are you mitigating the bending moment? Is there any tolerance for that? If that is the case, what is the working principle here?
Regarding the connection method. We will be using a signal conditioner which can provide excitation voltage of -12 V to 12 V. But the signal input port for the conditioner is BNC type. In that case which kind of converter should we use for the cables for your sensor? Can you provide me a suggestion, which kind of adapter is compatible with your sensor to convert it into a BNC port.
You can provide me the answer of the number 3 query 1st. Then you can send me the other queries later on.

1. Within the measuring range, the sensor must be installed horizontally or vertically without transverse load.
2. You can Not let the load is being applied offset from the center axis, otherwise the sensor is easy to damage.
3. Any transmitter that can accept mv signals is fine.
Some difficulties about load cells calibrating
I’m facing some difficulties calibrating my load cells using the transmitters on your website. I’m trying to get a reading of voltage as a signal between the range of 0-5V. Although when I follow the setup process it seems to be way of and inconsistent every time I try to recalibrate. My S load cells are 500kg and I’m calibrating using a 24kg weight. First I thought that could be the problem but then I analyzed the readings directly from the load cells to the transmitter. I saw that the load cells gave me a negative power value when I calibrated the transmitter to 0V as described. So I tried to calibrate so the load cell gave a positive value into the transmitter. This seemed to work as intended, although the zero level is now 2V output from the transmitter. How do I solve this issue? Am I doing something wrong or what is the problem? Thanks!

Regarding the calibration of load cells with a range of 500Kg, we recommend using a weight of 50Kg for calibration.
Regarding the negative signal displayed by the transmitter, it should be that the positive and negative polarities of the load cell are reversed (the green and white signal lines need to be exchanged), you can exchange the green and white signal lines, and recalibrate after displaying a positive number.

I have this load cell with five wires (red, black, green, white, and uncolored). Where does the fifth uncolored wire get connected to?

This uncolored cable is shielded and you can leave it unconnected.
Can you provide a load cell with 1kg capacity, and can measure even 1g?

I am looking for a compression load cell
Looking for a disc type compressive load cell capable of a max load of ~300kg. What outputs do your load cells have? What is the resolution/accuracy?

The output of our load cell is 0-20mV.
After purchasing our ATO load cell, you can buy our special digital panel meter to obtain readings directly, or buy our transmitter to output standard signal to PLC, DCS and other systems. Customized output signal is 0-5V, 0-10V, or 4 -20mA.

5 kg to 7 tons strain gauge load cell
1. How could I tie the shield on your load cell amplifier? Your amplifier only has four terminals E+, E-, SIG-&SIG+) but on most amplifiers there is one more additional terminal for the shield wire to tie?
2. Will the amplifier support up to four loadcell? With what resistance each?
3. And for what application do customers take for this product?

1. The shield can be connected to the amplifier's E- terminal together. It's okay.
2. No, and you have to connect multiple load cells to our junction box and connect them to the transmitter
3. The transmitter is to convert the mv signal of the load cell into analog signal 4-20mA, 0-10V, etc., which is convenient for measurement and calculation.
ATO 2 ton s type load cell is very suitable for our weighing system
The original load cell is too expensive, so we searched the same load cell online, including the same type, the same capacity range and the same size. Then we found ATO 2 ton load cell and bought one. The result is amazing, we almost don't need to adjust the weighing system because the same size. The s type load cell is also very accurate. After connecting with our load cell controller, everything goes well.

Good 500kg load cells for hopper scales
This is my second purchase. The 500kg s type load cell is very easy to use, with good quality, high precision and fast response time. We have many hopper scales, and the original load cells are of poor quality. So we will replace them all with ATO load cells in future.
