Load Cell - 50kg, Disc (TAS606)

The Sparkfun Disc Load Cell - 50kg (TAS606) is a compact and reliable device that transforms pressure or force into an electrical signal. This single disc strain gauge can interpret up to 50kg of pressure, making it an ideal tool for measuring the weight of objects, tracking weight changes over time, or detecting the presence of an object through the application of strain or load.

Compared to bar-style load cells, this disc load cell is simpler to mount, providing a more straightforward integration into your design. Made from a robust steel-alloy, it can read a capacity of up to 50kg. The load cell incorporates four strain gauges arranged in a wheatstone bridge formation. The wiring color code is as follows: red for E+, green for O+, black for E-, and white for O-. This load cell also boasts an IP66 protection rating, ensuring its durability and resilience in various conditions.

The disc load cell measures 20mm x 11mm and comes with a 2000mm wire. This compact size and ample wire length make it a versatile and adaptable component for a wide range of applications.

With the Sparkfun Disc Load Cell - 50kg (TAS606), you can confidently measure and monitor weight with precision and ease. Whether you're designing a new gadget, conducting scientific research, or developing an industrial application, this load cell delivers reliable and accurate results every time.
