When small load measurements are required, the OMEGA ® LCL Series thin beam load cells are exceptionally well suited. The LCL Series is designed to measure many different parameters found in medical instrumentation, home appliances, process control, robotics, automotive and many other high volume applications. A specially developed integrated strain gage includes all balancing, compensating and conductive elements and is laminated to the beam to provide excellent stability and reliability.

Thank you for your inquiry. The LCL load cell is a full strain gage bridge. If the nominal 5VDC excitation is applied to the load cell it will produce a 0 to 10mVDC over it's calibrated load range. You will need to verify if the Arduino will accept this low level signal.
