Easy to install ESMLS04 Shear beam load cells for belt scales

The ESMLS04 Shear beam load cells are mainstream force-sensing components in the industrial weighing sector. Thanks to their high precision, resistance to off-center loads, and compact design, they are widely used in various static and dynamic weighing applications. Their core principle is based on shear stress measurement, with the elastic element designed as an I-shaped cross-section beam. Under load, the beam experiences pure shear deformation. Strain gauges are attached to the beam web at a 45° angle to form a Wheatstone bridge, converting the deformation into a voltage signal proportional to the load. The output is solely related to shear force, effectively preventing the influence of load point offsets on measurement accuracy.

The sensors are classified into static and dynamic types, with materials available in stainless steel or alloy steel. They have a protection rating of up to IP68, making them suitable for humid, corrosive, and other complex industrial environments. Non-linearity and hysteresis errors are ≤ ±0.02% FS, ensuring strong long-term stability.

These sensors are applicable to tanks, hoppers, platform scales, and production lines, serving as core components in industrial container weighing, process batching, and logistics check weighing. Selection should consider load capacity, accuracy, and environmental requirements. They are easy to install and maintain, providing efficient and reliable measurement support for industrial weighing.

    Working Principle

    When an external force is applied to the sensor, the web experiences shear strain, causing the resistance of the strain gauge to change. The strain gauges are usually arranged in a Wheatstone bridge, which converts the resistance change into a voltage signal output, thereby reflecting the magnitude of the external force.

    Product Features

    • 1. High cost-performance ratio: simple structure, mature manufacturing process, and high material utilization.
      2. Easy installation: one end fixed, the other end subjected to force.
      3. Excellent anti-eccentric load performance: shear stress distribution is relatively insensitive to the position of the load point.
      4. Wide range coverage: mature products available from a few kilograms to tens of tons.
      5. Low profile height: flat design.
      6. Easy networking: standardized dimensions and output.
      7. Good sealing: mature laser welding technology.

     APPLICATION SCENARIOS

    1. Platform scale / small floor scale: weighing with 3–4 sensor groups, stable accuracy.
    2. Hopper / tank / silo weighing: chemical, food, and building materials batching systems.
    3. Belt scale / quantitative packaging scale: dynamic / static weighing on production lines.
    4. Truck scale / rail scale: large range, high reliability weighing.
    5. Testing machine / force monitoring: material testing, equipment load monitoring.
