Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the stress, strain and deformation distribution of the geometrical shape of the low profile load cell and the stress and strain of the curved beams under the rated load and overload conditions and to evaluate the influence of the stress and strain on the design of the surrounding beams. In the stress analysis, the L-type under an overload condition, the stress reaches 837.8 MPa has exceeded the material yielding stress value 710 MPa. The L-type design of the load cell R guide angle for the stress concentration slow down has obvious help. The C-type design of the curved beams on the back of the arc, you can make the stress distribution more uniform, will not focus on local stress. In the strain analysis results show that the L-type design under the load, the end of the R angle with or without the impact. The C-type design of the bending beams about the L-type maximum strain decreased by about 20 % of the strain. The maximum strain of the L-type occurs at the discontinuous surface of the bending beam and the outer ring and is suitable for pasting the strain gauge. The C-type load cell in the adhesive surface of the plane has a uniform strain, suitable for the strain gauge affixed to the inner ring or outer ring and beam contact position.
