| Product Name | Stainless Steel Shear Beam Load Cell |
| Product Image |  |
| Product Overview | This stainless steel shear beam load cell is a weighing component for industrial platforms, vessels and feed-handling equipment. In commercial pig farm projects, it can form part of a feed ingredient scale, batching platform or appropriately designed small vessel weighing system. Its compact beam arrangement fits beneath fabricated platforms and steel support frames when the mounting structure provides a clear, controlled load path. |
| Key Features |
|
| Structural Components | A typical assembly includes a machined stainless steel beam, a strain-gauge sensing area, environmental sealing, a fixed-end mounting interface, a designated loading point and a shielded signal cable. The complete installation may also require a base plate, load introduction hardware, restraint components, a junction box and a compatible weighing indicator. These items are selected to suit the platform or vessel structure. |
| Working Principle | A vertical load applied at the specified loading point produces controlled strain in the beam's sensing section. Bonded strain gauges convert this mechanical change into an electrical signal. The weighing indicator processes and calibrates the signal to display the supported load. Correct mounting is essential: frame contact, pipe forces or other unintended load paths can affect the reading. |
| Technical Specifications |
|
| Applications | Applications include feed ingredient platforms, premix batching equipment, bag filling stations, industrial floor scales and supported tanks or vessels. For livestock equipment and pig farm construction, the sensor can be integrated into weighing assemblies used in feed rooms, storage areas and agricultural processing facilities. Larger feed silos require a complete structural and capacity assessment before a load cell type is selected. |
| Customization Options | Rated capacity, mounting hardware, cable configuration, sealing level, junction box and indicator interface can be specified according to project requirements. Support brackets and load introduction components may be designed around the customer's steel structure drawings, equipment footprint, cleaning method and local climate. The final configuration is subject to the approved technical drawing and quotation. |
| Installation & Maintenance | Secure the fixed end to a rigid, level mounting surface and apply the load through the specified loading point and hardware. Follow the approved drawing for orientation, fasteners, tightening torque and clearances. Keep the platform or vessel free of unintended contact with nearby steel members; assess piping, conveyors and restraints for forces that could bypass the sensors. Protect cables and connectors, inspect the mounts during routine maintenance, and check zero and calibration after installation or structural changes. |
