Precision in Every Measurement: Inside the ADI CONTROLS ASB-331 Single-Ended Shear Beam Load Cell

In industrial automation and process weighing, accuracy, reliability, and rugged performance are essential. From tank weighing and platform scales to batching systems, every measurement must be consistent and precise.
At ADI CONTROLS, we understand that the foundation of this precision lies in a single component: the load cell.

Our ASB-331 Single-Ended Shear Beam Load Cell embodies the engineering excellence required for demanding industrial environments, delivering stable, repeatable, and accurate performance even under challenging conditions.

Understanding the Shear Beam Principle

A shear beam load cell measures force by detecting shear strain within its metal body. When a load is applied, the beam experiences a controlled deformation.
Strain gauges, precisely bonded on the beam at specific locations, sense this strain and convert it into an electrical signal proportional to the applied load.

Because the measurement is based on pure shear, rather than bending, this design provides excellent linearity, low hysteresis, and high immunity to side loads, ensuring consistent performance across applications

What Makes the ASB-331 Different

The ASB-331 Single-Ended Shear Beam Load Cell is designed with one end rigidly mounted and the load applied at the free end through a loading assembly.
This configuration ensures mechanical stability, compact installation, and long-term reliability, even under off-center loading or vibration.
