Shear beam load cells

ABB shear beam load cells provide stable, rugged force measurement with strong side‑load resistance, supporting diverse industrial weighing systems from floor scales to batching equipment.

Overview

Sensors measure the shear caused by a load

  • A bending beam sensor cannot measure shear because shear stresses change across the cross section of the cell
  • In a shear sensor, the I-beam construction produces a uniform shear that can be accurately measured by strain gages
  • A shear beam sensor is provided with a pair of strain gages installed on each side of the I -beam, with grid lines oriented along the principal axes
  • Advantages of a shear beam sensor over bending beam include better handling of side loads and dynamic forces as well as faster return to zero

 

Our Shear Beam Load Cells offering

<p>ABB's shear beam load cells offer a range of transcell families, including single-ended and double-ended configurations, and are available in different capacities and output ranges.</p> <ul> <li>ABB's single-ended shear beam load cells&nbsp;measure force or weight applied at one end of the beam, with the other end fixed. They&nbsp;are built for medium to high-capacity industrial and commercial weighing applications, offering exceptional accuracy, durability, and versatility.</li> <li>ABB's double-ended shear beam load cells are secured at both ends and bear the load in the center, resembling a hammock's structure.&nbsp;These load cells are known for their stability and capacity for heavy-duty applications, making them ideal for industries where precision and reliability are critical.&nbsp;</li> </ul>
