Abstract
A load cell for on-board weighing applications, including an elongated sheer force measuring beam (24) which includes mounting means (52,54,56) for securing the opposing longitudinal ends of the beam (24) to the frame (58) of the vehicle. The load is applied against the upper surface (32) of the beam (24) through a platform (20) or the like. The shear strains caused by the load are concentrated in an area near each end of the beam (24). The strain measuring means (30) are located in holes in the sides of the beam in the shear force areas and measure the shear strains on the beam, which in turn are representative of the weight of the load.
