Single Ended Shear Beam Load Cell
Single ended shear beam load cells are one of the most popular types of load cells used in industrial and commercial weighing applications. These load cells offer exceptional accuracy, durability, and versatility, making them ideal for applications such as platform scales, hopper weighing, and tank weighing systems.
What is a Single Ended Shear Beam Load Cell?
A single-ended shear beam load cell is a strain gauge-based transducer designed to measure force or weight applied at one end of the beam. The load is applied on a specific mounting point, while the other end of the load cell remains fixed. These load cells are designed to measure shear stress, which provides enhanced stability and accuracy compared to other types of load cells.
Key Features
- High Accuracy: These load cells deliver precise weight measurements with minimal error, even in dynamic environments.
- Robust Construction: Typically made from stainless steel or alloy steel, they offer resistance to corrosion, shock, and vibrations.
- Compact Design: Their compact form makes them easy to integrate into various weighing systems.
- Capacity Range: Single-ended shear beam load cells are available in a wide range of capacities, from a few kilograms to several tons.
- Environmental Protection: Many models are designed with IP67 or IP68 ratings, ensuring protection against dust and water.
How Does a Load Cell Work?
The working principle of a single ended shear beam load cell is based on the measurement of strain. When a load is applied to the cell, the strain gauges bonded to the beam detect deformation. This deformation generates an electrical signal proportional to the force or weight applied. The signal is then processed by a weighing indicator or controller to display the accurate weight.
