The advertised load for the load cell here:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13332
is 200kg. But when I view the datasheet here:
http://www.htc-sensor.com/products/151.html
the page says the load rating is between 5 and 500 kg. Can someone from Sparkfun confirm these numbers?
Hello isaac12345.
It looks like the manufacturer may have revised these to work at 500kg, but the ones we carry are labeled 200kg. I’d consider the 200kg on the label as the maximum until we start getting ones labeled 500kg.
I think TAS606 is a load cell series comprised of a number of different capacities. This is typical for a load cell specs. Here’s [a datasheet for a similar button cell with capacities from 100 to 50,000 pounds-force (though the dimensions change as the cap gets larger). Similarly, [Sparkfun’s FC2231 is offered in a few different capacities.](https://www.sparkfun.com/categories/143)](https://www.flintec.com/media/downloads/mba-miniature-datasheet-en.pdf)
