Double Shear Beam Load Cells: Ultimate Stability and Precision for Heavy Loads

When it comes to weighing large tanks, massive silos, or heavy industrial machinery, double shear beam load cells are the first choice. Thanks to their special design, which is fixed at both ends and takes up the load centrally, they offer outstanding insensitivity to disruptive side and transverse forces.

Our Octogon double shear beam load cells consistently deliver highly precise and reproducible measurement results, even with constant vibrations, thermal expansions of the system, or uneven load distribution. They are the reliable backbone for complex and heavy-duty industrial weighing systems.

Your advantages with our double shear beam load cells:

• Excellent side load compensation: Inherently extremely resistant to lateral forces and parasitic loads.

• High capacities: Designed for medium to very high rated loads (often from 10 t to over 100 t) – ideal for the heaviest industrial projects.

• Maximum robustness: Made of high-quality, nickel-plated tool steel or corrosion-resistant stainless steel, combined with high protection classes (IP68) for use in harsh, damp or dusty environments.

• Calibratable precision: Certified multiple times according to international standards (e.g. OIML) for highly accurate, verifiable applications.

• Ready for extremes: Optionally available with approvals for safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX / IECEx).

• Easy installation: In combination with our tailor-made mounting kits, they can be safely integrated into your construction, protected against tilting and lifting.

Typical applications: These robust sensors are the ideal solution for tank and silo weighing, large platform scales, truck scales, mixer and dosing systems, and for monitoring steel structures.
