These beams have fixed ends on both sides allowing for loads to be applied on the center of the load cell.
Double beam load cell.
This low profile double ended shear beam load cell model desb rim is specially designed for measuring the tension in the rope.

Double ended beam load cells are based on the strain gauge force sensing principle.

They are supported on both ends and loaded in the middle measuring shear strain due to the applied load.
This type of load cell is a variation of the shear beam load cell but is rated for higher loads.
It is clamped on to the rope and is used to measure the slackness or tension of a rope on a crane elevator.
In a double shear beam load cell the force acts on the centre of the device.
By either mounting on the ends and loading in the center or mounting in the center and loading on the ends the result is often a more efficient support structure.
This is a non invasive method of weighing the load in crane elevator for overload monitoring purpose.
Double ended shear beams are designed to simplify the mounting and loading of the load cell.
They are mechanically robust and allow for low profile installations.
