Stainless steel shear beam load cell
500 - 5 000 N | HTK Nobel Weighing Systems

Double cantilever shear beams measure the shear force without errors caused by changing point or moment stresses. The HTK Web Tension Module incorporates an outer sleeve that can be thought of as a second cantilever, rigidly attached to the free end of the first cantilever. Thus the term double cantilever. With this design, the applied force is brought back to a point directly over the gaged area. A cross section shaped as an 'I' BEAM provides the desired shearing stress while maintaining a high degree of rigidity against bending in all directions. The second cantilever also is effective at isolating load application point stresses from the active element. Double cantilever shear beams approach the ideal in tension transducer design: they measure the desired force while
ignoring any extraneous forces that may be present.
