ABSTRACT:
A weigh axle transducer for a grain cart or other application in which side loads are applied. A spindle which mounts the cart on a wheel is provided with opposing side openings which form an I-shaped section of the spindle. Strain gauges are mounted on opposite sides of the web of the I section and are wired in a bridge circuit providing an output signal proportional to the shear strain on the web. Each opening has an undercut configuration which enhances the output signal due to the large diameter undercut area and which provides adequate strength against lateral loads due to the smaller diameter portion. Apertures through the web provide wiring passages and act as stress risers to enhance the signal.
