Cantilever beam load cell / SM18XQ-AS cantilever beam load cell
Product Categories Cantilever beam sensor
The SM18XQ-AS cantilever beam load cell features a pure shear structure. Utilizing proprietary American technology and processes, this product employs high-quality materials and precision machining to ensure the measurement accuracy and dynamic performance of each finished unit. Its low profile, strong overload capacity, and uniform stress distribution provide excellent resistance to lateral forces and minimize the impact of load position changes. It is a crucial component in the manufacture of various flat-plate weighing instruments (such as floor scales, truck scales, and rail scales). Currently, it is widely used in dynamic electronic rail scales, shallow or pitless electronic truck scales, hopper scales, crane scales, and electronic floor scales, among other force-measuring and weighing systems.
