Load cell (how to convert V to N)

AI Thread Summary
To convert voltage values from the Omega load cell to force in Newtons, first determine the sensitivity of the load cell, which is 2 mV/V at a 10V excitation, resulting in a full-scale output of 20 mV. The output voltage needs to be calibrated against known weights to establish a relationship between voltage and force. The voltage reading of 0.06V when no force is applied indicates a zero offset, which should be subtracted from subsequent readings. The maximum reading of 0.7V corresponds to a force that can be calculated using the established relationship. Proper calibration and documentation are essential for accurate conversion from volts to Newtons.

Hello,
I have Omega made load cell with 150g capacity,Rated output 2mV/V, Excitation 10V.How I can convert voltage values to the force (Newtons)?When no force applied meter shows 0,06V and then i pressing with finger the max value I get is 0.7V.So how I can converts those volts to Newtons now?

Did your load cell come with any instructions or documentation?

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
