Shop force and weight sensor modules from AuscomTech. We stock practical sensor modules and weighing components for Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi compatible boards and general electronics projects, including load cells, HX711 amplifier modules, force sensors and weighing modules depending on current availability.

Whether you are building a digital scale, load measurement project, force sensing circuit, weighing platform, pressure pad, robotics project or data logging system, force and weight sensors help microcontroller projects measure applied load, pressure or force.

Shop Force & Weight Sensors by Type

Our force and weight sensor range may include modules such as:

• Load Cells: Weight sensing elements used in scales, weighing platforms and force measurement projects.
• HX711 Modules: Load cell amplifier and ADC modules commonly used with Arduino, ESP32 and other microcontroller boards.
• Force Sensors: Sensors used to detect applied force, pressure or contact in compatible electronics projects.
• Weighing Sensor Kits: Load cell and amplifier combinations used for digital scale and measurement projects.
• Force Sensitive Resistors: Thin sensors used for detecting pressure or force changes in suitable low-current applications.

Load Cells & HX711 Modules for Arduino and ESP32

Load cells and HX711 modules are commonly used in digital scale projects, weight monitoring systems, inventory measurement, platform scales, robotics, testing rigs and force measurement experiments. These modules are often connected to Arduino compatible boards, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi compatible boards and other microcontroller platforms.

Load cells typically produce a very small signal and usually require an amplifier or ADC module such as an HX711-style board. Always check the load cell capacity, wiring colour code, excitation voltage, amplifier compatibility, mounting method, calibration process and mechanical load path before use.

Weight Measurement, Force Detection & Scale Projects

Force and weight sensors need both correct electronics and correct mechanical installation. A load cell must be mounted so that the force is applied in the intended direction, and the system normally needs calibration using known weights. Force sensitive resistors are useful for detecting force changes, but they may not be suitable for accurate weighing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you sell load cells and HX711 modules for Arduino and ESP32?

Yes. AuscomTech stocks force and weight sensor modules suitable for Arduino compatible boards, ESP32, ESP8266 and general electronics projects depending on current availability.

What is an HX711 module used for?

An HX711 module is commonly used as a load cell amplifier and analog-to-digital converter for weighing and force measurement projects.

Can I build a digital scale with a load cell?

Yes. A common digital scale project uses a load cell, HX711-style amplifier module, microcontroller board and calibration using known weights.

What is the difference between a load cell and a force sensitive resistor?

A load cell is generally used for more accurate weight or force measurement when mounted correctly. A force sensitive resistor is usually better for detecting pressure or force changes rather than precise weighing.

Can you help me choose the right force or weight sensor?

Yes. If you are unsure which sensor suits your project, contact AuscomTech with your required weight range, controller board, mounting method, available space and measurement accuracy needs.
