Hello,
I have ordered and received the ATO-LC-S02 load cell, 0 – to 20 kg capacity.
Please see the picture below.
I am pulling a sliding plate forward, with the pulling force changing from 0 to ~10 kg as the plate moves.
I want to continuously measure and keep a record of the changing values of the pulling force.
Question:
Since the load cell is a heavy chunk of steel, will it counteract the pulling force and prevent the plate from sliding freely?
If so, should I have ordered the 0 – 10 kg capacity, rather than 0 – 20, although the physical dimensions are the same?
If not (and my setup will work), should I, and can I, change and calibrate the sensitivity myself?
