The Basics of Shear and Bending Beams
To best understand shear and bending beams, it’s critical to understand the forces they handle. Shear force causes objects to slide from one cross section against another, and this force can easily be seen in several, day-to-day activities. Tasks like using scissors, shaving, painting and scrolling through a touch-screen phone all employ shear force. Conversely, bending force is exactly what…
Load Cell 101: What You Need to Know
A load cell by definition is a sensor that measures and converts force into an electrical signal. In the force measurement industry, load is essentially a synonym for force, and the signal produced by a load cell is most commonly displayed in units of mass or torque. Load cells are used by all electronic scales to display weight, making them…
