Introduction

The Wireless Load Cell ±50N is a combination wireless 

and

 USB sensor that connects to a computer or tablet 

device through Bluetooth, and can also connect to a 

computer with a USB cable (included). The sensor 

measures force up to ±50 newtons (N) and acceleration 

up to ±16 g (1 g = 9.8 m/s

2

). The sensor measures com

-

pression and tension forces in any component of the 

PASCO Structures Systems as a push or pull along its X 

axis and measures acceleration in three dimensions (X, 

Y, and Z). The PASCO Data Collection Software can 

show the compression or tension forces, the accelera

-

tion in X, Y, and Z, and the resultant acceleration. The 

sensor uses a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) 

device. 

The sensor is designed to optimize the battery usage 

time. Since each sensor has a unique Device ID 

number, more than one can be connected to a computer 

or tablet at the same time.
