A flintec bending beam load cell is manufactured to the highest quality ensuring that our sensors remain reliable and accurate.
Load cell shear beam.
These load cells should be mounted on a smooth flat surface using high strength hardened bolts.
The mounting holes are at the opposite end to where the cell is loaded.
In a load cell the resistors are replaced with strain gauges and arranged in alternating tension and compression formation.
Shear beam load cells.
Shear beams are used almost exclusively for floor scales due to their low height requirements and high capacity options.
Shear beam load cells offer excellent stability in the case of lateral forces.
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.
These beams have fixed ends on both sides allowing for loads to be applied on the center of the load cell.
Our selection of shear beams come in alloy aluminum stainless and tool steel.
There are several types of strain gauge load cells.
Shear beam load cells are designed for low profile scales and process applications.
Shear beams are by far the most popular beam load cell available.
Hence the electrical signal that is proportional to the applied load is independent of the load application point.
Shear strains do not vary when the load application point moves within a certain range.
When force is exerted on the load cell the structure and resistance of the strain gauges changes and is measured.
