Shear beam load cells

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
