FAQ
- What is a bending beam load cell and how does it work?
A bending beam load cell measures weight by detecting strain caused by bending of the beam under load. This structure offers high sensitivity and is ideal for applications requiring fast response and stable repeatability.
- How does a bending beam load cell differ from a shear beam load cell?
Bending beam load cells are more sensitive and compact, making them suitable for lower to medium capacities and dynamic weighing. Shear beam load cells are typically used for higher capacities and more static applications such as platform scales.
