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.
