WST1405 Weighbridge use Double shear beam load cell, The double-ended shear beam load cell is a high-precision force sensor primarily used for heavy-duty measurements in industrial applications. Its core design involves fixed supports at both ends and force applied in the middle, converting the shear deformation at the beam’s center into an electrical signal.
Its main advantages are symmetrical structure, extremely high stability, and strong resistance to eccentric loads and lateral forces. It is typically used for large-capacity weighing, with common ranges from 5 tons to over 200 tons.
Main applications include:
1. Vehicle weighing: This is the most common application, used in truck scales (weighbridges), rail scales, etc., for weighing trucks, trains, etc.
2. Tank and hopper weighing: Used for continuous level monitoring or quantitative feeding of large storage tanks, silos, and hoppers.
3. Industry and trade: Meets the accuracy requirements of commercial trade settlements and is widely used in platform scales, belt scales, and various industrial process control applications.
4. Many products are made of nickel-plated alloy steel or stainless steel, achieving IP67/IP68 protection ratings, resisting corrosion, and suitable for harsh environments such as outdoors, in humid conditions, and even requiring high-pressure washing.

Underneath each weighbridge section, two WST1405 ends carry the full truck wheel load in shear — ideal for legal-for-trade road weighbridges.
Shear-beam pair
Bogie and body-mounted rail scales use one or more WST1405 per axle — with the long beam length taming impact loads and wheel-flat events.
Long beam length
Mounted between support beam and vessel pad, the WST1405 gives accurate net content readout for brewing tanks, silos and chemical reactors.
