Load Cell Shear Beam

Shear beams are used almost exclusively for floor scales due to their low height requirements and high capacity options.

Load cell shear beam.

Shear strains do not vary when the load application point moves within a certain range. In a load cell the resistors are replaced with strain gauges and arranged in alternating tension and compression formation. Shear beam load cells. Shear beam load cells offer excellent stability in the case of lateral forces.

When force is exerted on the load cell the structure and resistance of the strain gauges changes and is measured. There are several types of strain gauge load cells. From the resulting data can be easily determined using the equation above. The mounting holes are at the opposite end to where the cell is loaded.

A flintec bending beam load cell is manufactured to the highest quality ensuring that our sensors remain reliable and accurate. 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. 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 are designed for low profile scales and process applications.

Our selection of shear beams come in alloy aluminum stainless and tool steel. Common types of load cells. These load cells should be mounted on a smooth flat surface using high strength hardened bolts. At the core of our shear beam load cell range is the use of stainless steel combined with modern sealing compounds providing durability for most applications.
