Installing the base plate and elastomeric bearing

5.2.1

General installation information

The installation conditions vary widely. The dead load of the load bearing implement can be
very low or relatively high. You might be dealing with a container, platform or a roller table.
The following installation instructions can therefore only describe the general procedures.
Always set up the load bearing implement on dummies to protect the load cells from damage
during installation.
The load bearing implement then only has to be raised a few millimeters from bracket to
bracket to position the elastomeric bearing unit. The following description of the installation is
based on this assumption.
Note
Maintenance-friendly design
When planning the layout, ensure that the load cells are easily accessible once they are
installed.
Depending on the installation conditions, the detailed procedure may deviate from the
following description.
