Picking Your Perfect Match: Bending vs. Shear Beam Load Cells
In the world of single-point load cells, two designs stand out: bending beam and shear beam. Bending beam cells are the precision specialists, meticulously measuring smaller to medium loads (up to 5 tons). They’re the reliable workhorses behind platform scales and conveyor systems, ensuring accurate weight data for countless applications. However, when it comes to heavy lifting, shear beam cells take center stage. Their robust design tackles significant weights, reaching up to 200 tons, and can even handle off-center loading. This makes them ideal for heavy-duty tasks like tank weighing, hopper integration, and truck scales. So, whether you need unwavering accuracy for delicate tasks or the muscle for heavyweight jobs, there’s a single-point load cell perfectly suited to be your industrial weighing partner.
