Double Ended Beam Load Cell

This is a non invasive method of weighing the load in crane elevator for overload monitoring purpose.

Double ended beam load cell.

Double ended beam load cells are based on the strain gauge force sensing principle. This low profile double ended shear beam load cell model desb rim is specially designed for measuring the tension in the rope. Double ended shear beams are designed to simplify the mounting and loading of the load cell. They are supported on both ends and loaded in the middle measuring shear strain due to the applied load.

Coti global s double ended beams are very common in tank hopper applications as well as truck scales. 45 000 kg 100 000 lb. These beams have fixed ends on both sides allowing for loads to be applied on the center of the load cell. Our selection of shear beams come in alloy aluminum stainless and tool steel.

By either mounting on the ends and loading in the center or mounting in the center and loading on the ends the result is often a more efficient support structure. The load cell itself is part of the system support structure. The applied load is introduced into the center of the load cell providing symmetry loading via a clamp often with lift off protection. Double ended shear beam load cells are an excellent option for industrial applications such as floor scales and heavy duty weighing scales for trucks vessels and tanks.

Double shear beam load cells are used to measure compressive forces. It is clamped on to the rope and is used to measure the slackness or tension of a rope on a crane elevator. This type of load cell is a variation of the shear beam load cell normally rated for higher loads. Digital double ended shear beam.

This makes double shear beam load cells less sensitive to uneven loading. Capacities range from 1 000 lb through 250 000 lb. 102th double ended beam load cell. In double shear beam load cells the force acts on the centre of the device.
