Hi, I’m curious as to the max allowable weight that can be applied to the TAS606 50kg sensor before it would be damaged? (missed it on the spec sheet if it was there)
Also, I’ve not mounted this yet, but I assume that the pin on the top will carry all of the weight?
Thanks
The maximum allowable weight of this one https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13331 is 50 Kg as per the name suggests. The load cannot exceed 50kg.
The spec sheet calls out an ultimate overload value of 150% of capacity. If you think you’ll be routinely loading the cell beyond the rated capacity, it’s best to select a more suitable load cell. Sparkfun carries a 200 kg version of TAS606.

That’s useful, thanks
