The shear load disc is a compact force transducer designed to measure axial compressive forces. Its low profile allows it to be installed between adjacent machine components, making it particularly suitable for applications with limited installation space.
A key feature is its low sensitivity to eccentric force application. This makes the shear load disc suitable for measurement tasks where the load cannot be applied exactly centrally.
Shear load discs are used for measuring static and dynamic compressive forces. Typical applications include machine components and specialised machinery, for example where a force needs to be measured directly between two structural elements.
The disc-shaped design combines a low profile with a robust construction. The compressive force is transmitted axially into the load cell via the contact surfaces.
The shear load disc is largely unaffected by eccentrically applied forces. This facilitates its use in designs where a precisely centred load cannot be fully guaranteed.
The application chamber is protected by a plastic cover and filled with a highly elastic compound. This protects the measuring points from mechanical and chemical influences.
The bridge balance is calibrated to approximately ±0.01 mV/V when unloaded.
The shear load disc can be connected directly to control units or comparator circuits. The shield of the supply cable is electrically isolated from the surface of the load cell.
