Total Force Limit of a Simple Load Cell Configuration
Total Force Limit of a Simple Load Cell Configuration
(OP)
Hi,
I have a problem that I think had a fairly straight forward answer but I can't think of the correct forumla to calculate the value.
I have a two 10kN load cells in the configuration show below, the assembly is symetrical:

How do I calculate the total force that can be applied on the blue hub?
My guess was to just double it.. so 20kN but I'm not sure, can someone help?
Thanks
Steve

Visually, it looks like a lot of mass connected to the two load cells. Have you looked at the natural frequencies?

The assembly is supported by two plumber bearings the location of which are shown as the shaded purple areas on the new attachment.
The central mass does include two thrust bearings. The assembly can twist but only very very slightly.
Yes the Load Cells are in brown.
