bending and shear beam load cells

Bending and shear beam load cells are powerful sensors for precisely measuring weight and forces in a wide variety of industrial applications. They are among the most commonly used load cell types in professional weighing technology and provide reliable measurement results in both static and dynamic processes.

Bending beam load cells operate according to the bending principle and are particularly suitable for small to medium load ranges. They are used in platform scales, belt and overhead track scales, as well as in level measurements in tanks and silos. They also enable precise and reproducible weight measurements in dosing technology.

Shear beam load cells utilize the principle of shear force measurement and are ideal for medium to heavy loads. They are characterized by their high robustness and insensitivity to lateral or off-center loads. Typical applications include floor, container, truck, and crane scales, as well as in special machine construction and harsh industrial environments.

Both load cell types are widely used in the process industry, mechanical engineering, automation, and laboratory technology, contributing to the monitoring, control, and automation of weighing, filling, and dosing processes. Their versatility and reliability make them a key component in modern industrial measurement systems.
