Dual Shear Beam Krachtopnemers

De eigenschappen van de dual shear-beam krachtopnemer zijn vergelijkbaar met die van de single ended shear-beam. Deze worden het meest gebruikt in weegbruggen en tank- en hoppertoepassingen. Single ended shear beams worden aan het ene uiteinde vastgemaakt en de belasting wordt op het andere uiteinde uitgeoefend. Dual Shear beams worden aan beide uiteinden vastgezet en de belasting wordt uitgeoefend op het midden van de load cell.

Voor het goed installeren van de Dual Shear beams moet u ervoor zorgen dat u de juiste krachtinleiding selecteert. Zemic biedt een breed scala aan mounts voor silo-, hopper- en onboard-toepassingen.

What are double shear beam load cells?

Double shear beam load cells are designed to measure forces symmetrically, with the load applied in the center of the cell and distributed evenly across two support points. These sensors are ideal for applications requiring high capacities and robust performance. They are widely used in weighing systems and force measurement applications, such as weighbridges, silos, and heavy industrial machinery.

Thanks to our advanced strain gauge technology, our double shear beam load cells deliver reliable and highly accurate measurements, even in the most demanding environments. Their design ensures excellent resistance to side forces and minimal sensitivity to off-center loads, making them a preferred choice for heavy-duty applications.

Benefits of Zemic Europe’s double shear beam load cells

Our double shear beam load cells offer a wide range of benefits for companies across various industries:

  • - UKCA

Applications of double shear beam load cells

Double shear beam load cells are widely used across industries for applications requiring high capacities and robust stability. Common examples include:

• - Weighbridges: Accurate measurement of vehicle weights in logistics and transport sectors.
• - Silos and Bunkers: Force measurement for stored materials in agricultural and industrial applications.
• - Heavy Industrial Machinery: Load monitoring in large-scale production processes.
• - Platform Scales: High-capacity weighing platforms for industrial environments.

We deliver our shear beams to several companies in these industries. You can read more about the use of our H9C (with junction box, weight transmitter and display) in the case study about the loadplate of Actiw Oy.

Another example is the application of our HM9C with mount for onboard weighing for TTS Smilde BV. You can learn more about this application and collaboration in this case study.

How do double shear beam load cells work?

Double shear beam load cells measure forces by distributing the applied load symmetrically across two support points. The central load point creates deformation in the beam, which is measured using strain gauges connected in a Wheatstone bridge circuit. This design provides:

• - High Stability: Resistance to side forces and off-center loads.
• - Accurate Measurements: Conversion of even small deformations into precise electrical signals for reliable data.
• - Robust Construction: Ensures long-term durability in demanding environments.
