Product Description
BSH bending beam load cell overview
The BSH is a stainless steel single-ended shear beam load cell designed for compression-only force measurement in demanding industrial environments. Its cantilever bending beam construction allows the sensor to be bolted at one end while the load is applied at the free end, making it one of the most common load cell geometries used in platform and bench scale platforms, filling and packing machines, and process weighing systems. With ±0.03% nonlinearity, hermetic welded sealing, and a 150% safe overload rating, the BSH delivers high stability and repeatable performance in wet, washdown, and chemically aggressive conditions where a fully sealed stainless steel sensor is required. Available in capacities from 10 kg to 500 kg.

Technical notes
|
Installation and mounting
The BSH mounts via bolt holes at the fixed end, with the load applied downward at the free (cantilevered) end. For accurate readings, the mounting surface must be flat, rigid, and level. Side loading and off-axis forces should be minimized — use check rods or anti-rotation devices in applications subject to horizontal forces or vibration. For multi-cell platform scale configurations, mount one BSH at each support point and use a summing junction box to balance and combine the outputs. |
System integration
The BSH operates at a rated excitation of 10V DC/AC (15V max) and produces a 2.0 mV/V analog output signal. It is compatible with any standard weight indicator, PLC analog input, or load cell conditioner accepting a mV/V bridge input. For multi-cell platform scale installations, a load cell summing junction box is used to balance and combine the signals from each corner cell before passing a single output to the indicator. |
