They are supported on both ends and loaded in the middle measuring shear strain due to the applied load.
Double beam load cell.
Double shear beam load cells are used to measure compressive forces.
Double ended shear beam load cells are an excellent option for industrial applications such as floor scales and heavy duty weighing scales for trucks vessels and tanks.
Home products double ended beam load cells.
Double ended shear beams are designed to simplify the mounting and loading of the load cell.
This is a non invasive method of weighing the load in crane elevator for overload monitoring purpose.
They are mechanically robust and allow for low profile installations.
It is clamped on to the rope and is used to measure the slackness or tension of a rope on a crane elevator.
In a double shear beam load cell the force acts on the centre of the device.

By either mounting on the ends and loading in the center or mounting in the center and loading on the ends the result is often a more efficient support structure.
This low profile double ended shear beam load cell model desb rim is specially designed for measuring the tension in the rope.
This type of load cell is a variation of the shear beam load cell but is rated for higher loads.
