Our product range includes single-ended, double-ended, and S-type beam load cells, each engineered to deliver exceptional performance and accuracy. With a precision rating up to OIML R60 C5, our load cells provide highly accurate measurements, making them suitable for applications such as industrial floor scales, filling machinery, tank and silo weighing, on-board vehicle weighing, medical equipment, and process control.
A single-ended shear beam load cell is typically secured at one end, with the load applied to the opposite end. This creates a bending motion in the beam, which is then measured by strain gauges to determine the weight or force.

A S-beam load cell, also known as an S-type load cell, is a force transducer designed to measure both tension and compression forces. Named for its S-shaped design, this type of load cell is versatile and widely used in various industrial applications.
Read MoreA beam load cell is a type of load cell designed to measure force or weight by detecting the bending or shear strain on a beam, commonly used in applications like industrial weighing systems, scales, and material testing. It is one of the major categories of load cells commonly found within the weighing industry.
The principle of a bending beam load cell is based on measuring the strain caused by bending when a load is applied. Strain gauges attached to the beam detect the deformation, converting the mechanical strain into an electrical signal proportional to the applied load.
Bending beam load cells measure the strain caused by bending when a load is applied, with strain gauges attached along the beam’s length. Shear beam load cells measure the strain caused by shear forces, typically with strain gauges placed in a configuration that detects shear deformation, offering higher accuracy for off-center loads.
Shear beam load cells are commonly used in industrial applications such as platform scales, tank and hopper weighing, conveyor belt systems, and other high-capacity weighing systems where accuracy and stability are crucial, especially under off-center loading conditions.
