This disc load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to a whopping 200kg of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that changes in response to, and proportional of, the strain (e.g. pressure or force) applied to the disc. With this gauge you will be able to tell just how heavy an object is, if an object’s weight changes over time, or if you simply need to sense the presence of an object by measuring strain or load applied to a surface.

Can this Strain Gauge output displacement?

The measurement can be _correlated_ to displacement by performing experiments, but this unit does not just return a measurement of displacement.

Thanks. I need a solution out of the box. I will keep looking.

Cheers
