Exact diagram for your strain gauge load cell

Post by frederic_t3e »

Hi,

I bought a few of your strain gauge load cells (5, 10, 20kg) but I'm not sure of what's inside.

Is this a quarter bridge, a half-bridge or a full-bridge? I understand that this is a Wheatstone bridge configuration, but it's unclear how many gauges (stressed, unstressed) there are. I would think this is a half-bridge with one active gauge on each side of the aluminum bar and two regular resistors, but I would appreciate your confirmation.

Thank you,
Frederic
