Load Cell Shear Beam

When force is exerted on the load cell the structure and resistance of the strain gauges changes and is measured.

Load cell shear beam.

Hence the electrical signal that is proportional to the applied load is independent of the load application point. The mounting holes are at the opposite end to where the cell is loaded. There are several types of strain gauge load cells. Shear beams are by far the most popular beam load cell available.

A flintec bending beam load cell is manufactured to the highest quality ensuring that our sensors remain reliable and accurate. Common types of load cells. These load cells should be mounted on a smooth flat surface using high strength hardened bolts. Double ended shear beam load cells are an excellent option for industrial applications such as floor scales and heavy duty weighing scales for trucks vessels and tanks.

Shear beams are used almost exclusively for floor scales due to their low height requirements and high capacity options. Shear beam load cells are designed for low profile scales and process applications. Shear strains do not vary when the load application point moves within a certain range. From the resulting data can be easily determined using the equation above.

Our selection of shear beams come in alloy aluminum stainless and tool steel. In a load cell the resistors are replaced with strain gauges and arranged in alternating tension and compression formation. Standard single ended shear beams are available in capacities as low as 100 lbs and as high as 10 000 lbs. Shear beam load cells offer excellent stability in the case of lateral forces.
