Product Overview The Digital Shear Beam Load Cell is designed for integration into electronic weighing equipment used on livestock farms and in agricultural facilities. Its beam sensing element measures the applied load, while digital electronics process the signal for transmission to a compatible controller. With properly selected mounts, it can support animal weighing platforms, feed hoppers, and multi-point silo weighing systems. The capacity and digital interface are specified for the complete project.
Key Features
  • Beam-type sensing structure suits compact, low-profile weighing assemblies.
  • Digital signal processing supports connection to a compatible weighing controller.
  • Multiple sensors can be incorporated into a platform, hopper, or silo system.
  • Mounting arrangement can be adapted to a livestock scale frame or feed storage structure.
  • Capacity, protection level, and communication requirements are selected according to project conditions.
Structural Components A typical digital beam load cell includes a machined metal sensing body, bonded strain gauges, internal signal-processing electronics, mounting holes, a defined load introduction point, and a protected output cable or connector. The weighing assembly may also require a mounting base, load button or adapter, mechanical restraints, and a compatible controller. Exact construction depends on the selected model.
Working Principle The applied weight causes a small, controlled deformation in the beam. Strain gauges convert this deformation into an electrical signal. In a digital version, embedded electronics convert and process the measurement before transmitting data through the specified digital interface. The connected weighing controller combines sensor readings where necessary and displays the calibrated weight.
Technical Specifications
  • Sensor configuration: Digital beam-type load cell
  • Rated capacity: Available upon request
  • Body material and environmental protection: According to the selected model
  • Mounting dimensions and load introduction hardware: Customizable
  • Digital communication protocol and connector: Confirmed for the selected system
  • Power supply and compatible controller: According to project requirements

Final accuracy, capacity, communication functions, and approvals must be verified against the supplied model's datasheet.

Applications Pig weighing platforms, livestock handling scales, feed hoppers, and feed storage weighing systems. In pig farm construction projects, sensors can be integrated beneath a correctly engineered scale deck or storage support within a steel structure building. Outdoor installations require suitable environmental protection and structural mounting.
Customization Options Capacity, mounting hardware, cable or connector arrangement, controller compatibility, and data interface can be specified according to project requirements. The complete weighing assembly can be designed according to local climate and farm conditions, including moisture, dust, cleaning procedures, and installation space.
Installation & Maintenance Install the sensor on a flat, rigid support and introduce the load at the specified point. Check that the scale frame does not bind against adjacent steelwork or transfer weight around the sensor. Protect the cable from animals, cleaning equipment, sharp edges, and power wiring. Connect it only to a controller compatible with the selected digital protocol, then configure and calibrate the complete system. Inspect mounts, restraints, cable seals, and weighing performance during routine maintenance.
Product FAQ

Can it connect directly to any weighing indicator?
No. The indicator or controller must support the digital protocol and electrical requirements of the selected load cell.

Can several sensors be used under one livestock platform?
Yes, if the controller, mounting design, and calibration procedure support a multi-sensor system.

Is it suitable for outdoor feed silos?
Suitability depends on the selected capacity, environmental rating, mounting assembly, and site loads.

What information is needed for selection?
Please provide the scale or silo drawing, maximum load, number of support points, operating environment, power supply, and required communication protocol.
