Single-ended shear beam load cells are manufactured from high-elasticity materials like 17-4 PH stainless steel bars, machined into a beam with recesses to create a thin central web for shear strain detection. Single-ended shear beam load cells are installed by mounting the fixed end to a rigid base plate and applying vertical load centrally on the free end via a load introduction point like a cup, ball, or rocker pin. Preparation Steps Clean and level the mounting surface to

Torque measurement is the process of quantifying the “twisting force” that causes an object (like a shaft, bolt, or wheel) to rotate about an axis. It is a fundamental parameter in mechanics, machinery, and test systems. Basic idea Torque itself is defined as the product of a force and the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of that force, often written as \tau = F \times r \times \sin(\theta). In simple terms, when a wrench is used to turn

When it comes to industrial weighing and measurement, accuracy and reliability are non-negotiable. Whether you operate in manufacturing, logistics, or any sector requiring precise load measurement, having the right sensor technology is crucial. That’s where IJ Sensors and Solutions steps in. They specialize in advanced sensor solutions designed to meet the demanding needs of Indian industries. In this post, I’ll walk you through what makes their offerings stand out and how yo

When it comes to precise weighing and measurement in industrial settings, the right equipment can make all the difference. One such essential device is the universal industrial load cell. These devices are the backbone of many weighing systems, ensuring accuracy and reliability across various applications. In this post, I will walk you through what makes universal industrial load cells so valuable, how they work, and why they are a smart choice for industries across India. Wh

A double ended load cell (double ended shear beam) is a high-capacity load cell type, fixed at both ends and loaded in the centre, commonly used in truck scales, silos, hoppers and heavy tank weighing. It is selected where the application needs high accuracy, excellent resistance to side loads and robust performance in harsh industrial environments.  What is a Double Ended Load Cell? A double ended load cell is a shear beam load cell that is rigidly supported at both ends, wh

Measuring force or weight accurately is essential in many industries, from manufacturing to healthcare. Load cells are the devices that make this possible. They convert mechanical force into an electrical signal that can be measured and analyzed. At the heart of many load cells lies the Wheatstone bridge circuit, a clever electrical setup that allows precise measurement of small changes in resistance. This post explains how load cells work and why the Wheatstone bridge is cru
