Roll load cells RC-VIS

Load cell mounting

General guidelines for installing and mounting load cells:

• Respect the direction in which forces are applied to the load cells
• Do not exceed the temperature limits shown on the rating plate
• Do not remove the labels from the cells
• Protect cables properly with sheaths or cable ducts
• Connect each cell to earth with a suitable cable, bridging the plates of the mounting accessories if necessary
• Do not weld on the mechanical structure once the cells are in place
• Avoid or minimise mechanical constraints between the fixed structure and the weighed structure, to prevent weighing errors and zero return problems
• When vibrations or dynamic loads are present, protect the cells with anti-vibration mounts
• Protect the cells from dust build-up with suitable covers
