ADI ASB-331 Single Ended Shear Beam load cell is a rugged, beam-style force sensor that operates on the cantilever principle, fixed at one end with the load applied to the free end. When a load is applied, the internal structure is engineered to primarily measure shear stress (a slicing force) rather than simple bending moment. Strain gauges are strategically placed on the internal web to detect this shear deformation. It is a low-profile, rectangular block of metal (often alloy steel or stainless steel). ASB-331 is a high accuracy, low profile single ended shear beam load cell suitable for Tank & Hopper Weighing. Also known as 30310.
