For your customers, it's freedom like never before

Energize portable devices to work longer

With the innovative 5kΩ load cells from VPG Force Sensors, your portable scales can operate longer between charges. Your customers can go further and achieve more with their battery-powered weighing devices while benefiting from industry-leading measurement accuracy and reliability.

The lowest power consumption in their class

Standard load cells typically feature a 350 Ω impedance bridge or, in some cases, a bridge with up to 1000 Ω. Going far beyond the norm, our 5kΩ load cells feature a 5000 Ω impedance bridge. This ultra-high impedance drastically reduces load cell current consumption – by as much as 70% – and thus extends the battery life of the scales.

Interchangeable

VPG 5kΩ load cells have the same fit and form as comparable standard load cells, with the only functional difference being the higher impedance.
They are interchangeable with equivalent load cells, enabling drop-in replacement in most existing product designs.
