  The working principle of shear beam load cell

  The shear beam load cell is widely used where the operator needs to measure the compressive force. The core component of the shear beam load cell is the spring element. The element is a piece of metal that deforms elastically under load and recovers when the load is removed. This deformation or strain is detected by a strain gauge mounted on the metal element and converted into an electrical signal. The shear beam load cell can be calibrated for various weight units (grams, kilograms, or tons).

  Application of shear beam load cell

  Single-ended shear beams are mainly used for medium loads up to about 5 tons. These shear beam load cells are used in many medium-weight conveyor belt scales, container scales, and platform scales, as well as packaging and bottling plants. The shear beam load cell is also used to measure force and torque in industrial equipment. Platform scales are usually equipped with multiple load cells of this type connected in parallel.
