Miniature load sensor 1kg 2kg 5kg 10kg Lightweight loadcell

The Miniature Load Cell Sensor LCE04 is a breakthrough in precision weighing technology, engineered to address the growing demand for compact, affordable, and high-accuracy force measurement in space-constrained environments. Combining a featherlight design with laboratory-grade performance, this load cell redefines what's possible in applications ranging from consumer electronics to advanced robotics and educational instrumentation.

Crafted from aluminum, the LCE04 weighs a mere 5.5 grams and measures 35mm in length with a 6mm profile height—making it one of the smallest single-point load cells on the market. Its ultra-compact form factor allows seamless integration into devices where every millimeter and gram matter, such as wearable tech, micro-dispensing systems, or miniature robotic grippers. Available in four capacities (1kg, 2kg, 5kg, 10kg), it delivers a remarkable 0.05% non-linearity across the full scale, ensuring repeatable accuracy even in dynamic or variable loading conditions.

At its core, the compact weight sensor LCE04 employs a Wheatstone full-bridge strain gauge configuration, generating a millivolt-per-volt (mV/V) output proportional to the applied load. This design minimizes signal noise and maximizes sensitivity, critical for detecting minute force changes in high-stakes applications like medical device calibration or microfluidic pump control. Unlike conventional 350-ohm load cells, the LCE04's 1000-ohm bridge resistance slashes power consumption by over 60%, making it ideal for battery-operated devices such as portable force gauges, IoT-enabled sensors, or handheld diagnostic tools. This energy efficiency extends operational lifespans in wireless systems, reducing downtime for recharging or battery replacement.

The LCE04 shines in scenarios demanding precision at microscopic scales:

• Robotics: Enables delicate object handling in collaborative robots (cobots) by providing real-time feedback on grip force, preventing damage to fragile items.

• Smart Appliances: Integrates into kitchen scales, coffee grinders, or pet feeders for portion control, ensuring consistency and reducing waste.

• Simulators: Enhances haptic feedback in VR gloves or surgical training devices, replicating real-world force interactions with lifelike accuracy.

• Educational Tools: Serves as a hands-on teaching aid in physics labs, demonstrating load distribution principles or material stress analysis.

• Industrial Automation: Monitors tension in micro-conveyor belts or verifies assembly torque in miniature electronic components.

Recognizing that one size rarely fits all, LCS offers tailored modifications to the LCE04. Custom capacities, higher working temperature (-20℃...+100℃), or specialized for higher level ingress protection can be developed to align with unique project requirements. OEMs benefit from scalable production runs, ensuring cost efficiency without compromising the sensor's metrological integrity.

The LCE04 micro load cell bridges the gap between miniaturization and precision, proving that small-scale sensors can deliver outsized performance. Its blend of ultra-low power consumption, rugged aluminum construction, and sub-gram accuracy positions it as a future-proof solution for industries navigating the demands of IoT, Industry 4.0, and smart automation. Whether embedded in next-gen wearables, precision agriculture sensors, or micro-manufacturing systems, the LCE04 empowers engineers to innovate without constraints, transforming compact design into a catalyst for technological advancement.
