    General Conditions for Installation and Assembly Lift lock Lift locks prevent the head plate being lifted from the load cells or permanently mounted load cells from being overloaded by force against the measuring direction. Lift locks are necessary if there is a danger of the load platform being lifted or tipped.

  • Page 10: Load Cell Dummies

    Revision 11/12 General Conditions for Installation and Assembly Load Cell Dummies Load cells are sensitive sensors. To protect them from damage, they should only be handled as late as possible for installation and transport. During installation and transport, these should be replaced by dummies or phantoms. Dummies can be constructed as follows for example: 1.
  • Page 11: Welding And Installation Work

    Revision 11/12 General Conditions for Installation and Assembly Loads must be introduced precisely in the direction of measurement of the load cells. Torsion and bending moments, off-center loading and transverse loads are disturbance forces that lead to incorrect measurements and can cause damage if exceeding the permitted limitations of the load cells and mounting elements.

    Revision 11/12 General Conditions for Installation and Assembly DANGER Contaminated, icy or incorrectly set overload protection will create blockages which cause incorrect measurements or can cause injury or damage to the machinery by overloading the scale. CAUTION Proper assembly and installation of load cells and mounting elements is to be ensured by checking the assembly dimensions and freedom of movement for example.

    Revision 11/12 General Conditions for Installation and Assembly 2. Mounting point height adjustment The output signals of all load cells are determined one after the other when they are loaded. In order to achieve similar loading on all of them, spacer plates are used to adjust the height.
  • Page 14: Elastomer Bearing

    Elastomer Bearing Technical Description 2.1.1 Application Range The elastomer bearing is used for protecting the load cells if there is the possibility of having to deal with jolts or oscillation. This has a self-centering effect on the load platform. In combination with the base plate, this is a simple solution for load cell assembly.

    Revision 11/12 Elastomer bearing Assembly The conditions for installation are very different. The load platform can be very low or relatively high. It could be a container, a platform or a conveyor for example. The following assembly instructions can only be taken as general guidelines. WARNING Proper tools are to be used for lifting the load platform.
  • Page 17 Revision 11/12 Elastomer bearing  Bolt the elastomer bearing (10) to the load cell (3) with the hexagon bolt (8) and the washer (9). Hold the elastomer bearing (10) down when tightening the hexagon bolt (8) to prevent damage being done to the load cell. The arrow on the front of the load cell indicates the direction of measurement.
