Understanding Dual Shear Load Cells

Interface dual shear load cells are strain gage sensors supported at both ends, with the force applied directly at the center of the beam. A double-ended shear beam load cell design is used in the high-performing Interface LowProfiles and load pins. The dual-ended design distributes force symmetrically across two matched shear webs. Strain gages are bonded to the machined webs inside the beam and configured in a full Wheatstone bridge circuit to convert mechanical shear stress into an electrical mV/V signal.

Transducers for Aircraft Ground Support Equipment Design and Operations

Accurate measurement of force and torque transforms ground support from reactive repairs to proactive, condition-based lifecycle management. Whether installing new hardware or upgrading existing equipment with direct-fit load pins, tension links, and load cells, continuous force, torque, and weight monitoring safeguards aircraft and ground personnel from unnoticed structural stresses, equipment failures, and overloading.
