Shear Centre Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-SML-10077
Jlab Export is a leading Shear Centre Apparatus Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Shear Centre Apparatus (code EL-SML-10077) is a base frame and rigid bracket with four mild steel sections, a channel, an equal angle, a semicircle and a Z-section, each clamped at one end. A special hanger lets the load be shifted across the section while two dial gauges show whether it twists. JLab makes the frame, sections and hanger in Ambala, India.

Locating the Shear Centre
The shear centre is the point through which a transverse load must act for the section to bend without twisting. With the load hanger moved in steps across the free end, the two dial gauges read the vertical movement at two points; where both readings are equal, the section bends without rotating and the load lies in the vertical plane through the shear centre. A graph of the difference between the readings against load position finds that plane by interpolation.
What the Four Sections Show
For the channel, the shear centre lies outside the web on the side away from the flanges; for a thin channel of uniform thickness it sits e = 3b² / (h + 6b) from the web centre line, where b is the flange width and h the depth between flange centre lines. The equal angle has its shear centre at the junction of its two legs, the Z-section at its centroid, and the thin semicircle at 4r/π from the centre of the arc, outside the section itself.
Other Bending and Torsion Apparatus
- Unsymmetrical Bending Apparatus — angle cantilever turned so its principal axes are inclined to the load.
- Torsion of Rods Apparatus — torsion test for the modulus of rigidity of a metal specimen.
- Bending Moment and Shear Force Apparatus — beam set for checking shear force and bending moment at a section.
The Structural Mechanics Lab group holds the related bending rigs, and Engineering Lab Equipment is its top-level section.
