In a load cell the resistors are replaced with strain gauges and arranged in alternating tension and compression formation.
Load cell shear beam type.
The single ended shear beam is designed for low profile scale and process applications.
The shear is measured close to the neutral line of the load cell what reduces the effects of transverse forces.
Shear beam load cells in aluminium steel and stainless steel.
The lc501 series of stainless steel compression load cells can withstand harsh industrial environments.
Digital load cell are basically a combination of analog load cell and an analog to digital convertor mounted on the load cell itself.
When force is exerted on the load cell the structure and resistance of the strain gauges changes and is measured.

Shear beam load cells single point load cells compression canister load cells s type load cells double ended beam load cells.
Single bending beam load cells.
There are several types of strain gauge load cells.
Eagle double ended shear beam compression type concept in load cell design provides the following advantages over the conventional compression type load cells.
Spring element and strain gauge are complemented with additional elements housing sealing elements etc protecting the strain gauge elements.
One end of the shear beam contains the mounting holes while the opposite end is where the cell is loaded.
These beams have fixed ends on both sides allowing for loads to be applied on the center of the load cell.
Beam load cells flintec s shear beam load cell range is ideally suited to all industrial weighing scale and general measurement applications.
Load cells from the best manufacturers around the world.
The beam type load cell family sometimes known as a bending load cell tend to be the most commonly used due to the variety of available options.
The shear beam capacities are from 100kg to 50t.
Common types of load cells.
The simplest type of load cell is a bending beam with a strain gauge.
Available with 0 03 linearity in capacities from 100 to 30 000 lbf.
Double ended shear beam 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.
Low profile floor scales tank hopper bag weighing force tension measurement pallet scale industrial automation 30310 ss stainless stell version is suitable for hygienic applications like food dairy pharma industries for corrosive applications like chemical industries.
Torque however influences the measuring result.
A universal load cell for bigger industrial applications.
Often the mandatory basic components i e.
From the resulting data can be easily determined using the equation above.
