bending beam load cell

　　The cantilever or bending beam load cell is durable and highly accurate, suitable for various static and dynamic weighing and force measurement applications. The unique bending beam design measures loads and forces with an accuracy of ±0.1% (FSO, combined) in the range of 25 grams to 10,000 pounds.

　　Shear beam load cell

　　The shear beam load cell looks similar to the curved beam load cell, but the shape is the same and the floor space is small. However, instead of bending the beam containing the sensing element, the structure of the load cell is designed to put the beam in a shear state. The result is a compact and high-capacity load cell suitable for static and dynamic weighing applications. Shear beam load cells can provide ±0.03% FSO (combined) accuracy in the range of up to 22,500 pounds. This design change can be found in precision load applications, such as hopper and storage tank weighing, weighbridge load cell, platform scale, truck scale, and silo weighing.

　　Parallelogram load cell

　　The parallelogram load cell is a unique dual cantilever beam design, which can provide a compact unit with ±0.02% repeatability, integral overload protection, and high tolerance to eccentric loads. The highly sensitive parallelogram configuration provides excellent performance in tension and compression applications up to 500 pounds. This economical load cell is packaged for OEM process applications and is not a sealed unit.
