The SIWAREX WL230 SB-S CA is a shear beam load cell made of nickel-plated steel. The 100 kg (220.46 lb) and 250 kg (551.16 lb) load classes are implemented as bending ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...

(Think a deck of playing cards.) Under the action of a transverse load we see below how the beam deflects in the absence of shear stiffness. Focus, in particular, on the deflection at the right end of ...
