Load Cell - 50kg, Button Compression Disc (TAS606)

Load Cell – 50kg, Button Compression Disc (TAS606)

This disc load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to a fairly hefty 50kg of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that changes in response to and proportional to, the strain (e.g. pressure or force) applied to the disc. With this gauge, you will be able to tell just how heavy an object is, if an object’s weight changes over time, or if you simply need to sense the presence of an object by measuring strain or load applied to a surface.
Disc load cells are a bit easier to mount than bar-style load cells, making them more straightforward to implement into a design.
Each load cell is made from a steel-alloy and is capable of reading a capacity of 50kg. These load cells have four strain gauges that are hooked up in a wheat-stone bridge formation.
Typical applications include force control in production control, vibratory feeding equipment, and other electronic weighing or force measuring fields.
