CONFIGURATION

THE DOUBLE CANTILEVER ADVANTAGE

Double cantilever shear beams measure the shear component of force without errors caused by changing point or moment stresses. The Z-BLOK Weigh Module incorporates an outer sleeve that can be thought of as a second cantilever, rigidly attached to the free end of the irst cantilever. Thus the term double cantilever. With this design, rather than applying force at the free end of the beam, the point of load application is brought back to a point directly over the gaged area. The result is that bending moment is close to zero across the gaged area. Because a shear beam is designed to measure shear, not bending, any reduction in bending moment stress is desirable. The second cantilever also is effective at isolating load application point stresses from the active element. Reducing the force due to bending moment in a cantilever beam has a side beneit—a reduction in the beam’s strength requirements. By reducing the bending moment induced at the weakest part of the shear beam (section A-A), a double cantilever shear beam can be operated at a stress level well below that of a single cantilever shear beam. The result is a more conservative structural design with high overload capacity and fatigue resistance. Double cantilever shear beams approach the ideal in load cell design; they measure the desired force while ignoring any extraneous forces that may be present.
