Shear-beam type
Available as single or double ended shear beam (the latter being more common in weigh bridges), this type of load cell can offer
slightly lower profile and less sensitivity to side-loads, but often with poorer sealing (potted) and corrosion resistance (alloy steel). These load cells are
more advantageous in silo/vessel weighing where rigid connections and head-room constraints are an issue as compared to a vehicle weighbridge
where sealing and protection are very important.
