Portable S-type Beam High-Precision Load Cell Scale Sensor for Hopper Weight High Pressure Tension Weighing(2000kg)

I purchased this load cell to troubleshoot my camper suspension and loading. I paired it with the Load Cell Module and Display. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Z29TK7J?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) Total cost for complete scale was under $50. The load cell and module work well together. I'm using a USB power supply and mounted the display module in a small plastic case. Calibration was simple using a bathroom scale and jack under my camper. Hopefully the 2 kg rated loadcell is linear as the calibration load was 350#. No instructions were included with the module, but one of the reviewers for the module did a super job in providing those.

By connecting a 13v alarm battery to a switch and including a 68 ohm resistor to the red wire, I was able to give it a little over 10 volts. Then I connected a digital multi-meter to the green and white wires and setting it to 200mv, I can stand on it and get a reading of .9mv I multiply that by 100 to equal 90kg. I happen to weigh 90kg. I put this load cell in my press and watched the meter go past 10mv. I know that I can't verify the pressure on it but it climbed steady. The machine foot shown in my pic has M16 X 2.0 threads and it fits well.

The part worked great once I got lifting rings. According to the documentation, a 2000 lb device should require 16mm rings, but, in fact, you need 12mm rings. (anyone need a couple of 16mm rings??). IMHO, the part should have been supplied with the proper rings (and apparently the factory one does), but this did not. I ended up spending nearly $25 extra for 16 and then 12mm rings in addition to the sensor itself.Shipping was fast.

This by itself is useless. But if you know what you're buying and what to do with it, and the other hardware to make it work, it's a great deal. Very well made and very accurate. No hesitation to buy it again.

Works well so far, haven’t tested with higher than 200#, using raspberry pi and hx711 amplifier.

Load cell was installed and worked well for about 2 weeks. It now only reads maximum value with nothing attached. It was not overloaded or used incorrectly. I do not see any method to contact the seller to get a replacement.

Had to read thru the questions to find the thread size answer from the representative. The 1 day delivery was 4 days.They said the thread was M12, but it was actually M16 .Had to purchase and wait for new rod ends. Hopefully it works when I hook it up today.
