As the miniature load cells have small inner space and sensing elements of which are thin and very sensitive to manufacturing conditions, it is very difficult to predict the rated outputs and control them by using the compensation resistor. The very useful equation has been derived for calculation of theoretical rated outputs for diaphragm type miniature load cells when commercial diaphragm strain gages are used. Four diaphragm type miniature load cells of which capacities are from 300 N to 1, 000 N and outer diameters are 20 mm and 26.5 mm are manufactured. The differences between calculating results and actural ones are less than 5%. According to numerical analysis the decrease of rated outputs caused to main error is examined in existence of loading button.
