Thin Load Cells for Small Weigh Scale Project

In summary, the conversation is about building a small weigh scale with a maximum weight of 40lbs and a load cell thickness of 5mm or less. The person is looking for recommendations for thin load cells and mentions finding options from Omega and Chinese manufacturers. They also mention being willing to share their circuit once they start building. JBA suggests looking at the XFL212R load cell.

Hi,
I'm doing a project and an looking at building a small weigh scale and measure about 40lbs max (even lesser is ok as I'm learning). I'm looking for load cell thickness of 5mm or less (:smile:). I've one kitchen scale that I opened but that load cell is bigger.
I looked at the web and found LCL load cell by Omega (http://www.omega.com/pptst/LCL.html) and few by Chinese manufacturers (like this one here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/30kg-150kg-300kg-planar-bean-load-cell-for-low-platform-scale-low-thin-scale-weight-sensor/32474908124.html ). I'm wondering if there are known thin load cells and am I missing any of them? Please let me know, really appreciate all suggestions and help!
I would be happy to post my circuit once I start building :smile:

Cheers,
Ava

Take a look at this one: http://www.meas-spec.com/downloads/XFL212R.pdf
