Double Shear Beam Load Cell

They are supported on both ends and loaded in the middle measuring shear strain due to the applied load.

Double shear beam load cell.

Instead of being secured at one end and load applied to the other end as in the single ended shear beam the double ended shear beam is secured at both ends and the load is aplied to the centre of the load cell. This type of load cell is a variation of the shear beam load cell normally rated for higher loads. These beams have fixed ends on both sides allowing for loads to be applied on the center of the load cell. This is a non invasive method of weighing the load in crane elevator for overload monitoring purpose.

This low profile double ended shear beam load cell model desb rtm is specially designed for measuring the tension in the rope. 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.

Our selection of shear beams come in alloy aluminum stainless and tool steel.

This makes double shear beam load cells less sensitive to uneven loading. Zemic offers a wide range of mounts for silo hopper and onboard applications. They are designed specifically for high accuracy applications in tank and vessel weighing with the high temperature model t38 primarily for use in the metals industry and in foundries. Digital double ended shear beam.

To install double ended shear beam loadcells you need to make sure you select the right force introduction mount. Completely encapsulated and filled with a potting compound to fill all internal voids and prevent any potential for moisture entering the load cell and causing premature failure. In double shear beam load cells the force acts on the centre of the device. It is clamped on to the rope and is used to measure the slackness or tension of a rope on a crane elevator.

Thames side s double shear beam load cells have among the highest specifications in the market for process weighing and industrial scale applications. 45 000 kg 100 000 lb.
