We offer a variety of mounting accessories. Their purpose is to ensure the correct application of the load cell and maximum reliability and precision and compatibility with the mechanical, electrical and pneumatic connections present on the structure being weighed.
In multi-cell systems we recommend positioning the restraints so that they are able to withstand any lateral forces.
The system designer will have to assess whether the standard mounting accessories are sufficient for the purpose, or whether additional measures should be taken depending on: shocks and vibrations, wind thrust, seismic classification of the installation area, consistency of the supporting base.
Providing constraints that can counteract horizontal forces allows the load cells to work correctly, thus avoiding potentially damaging stresses.
The provision of anti-tip constraints is advised for weighing systems on silos, tanks or structures that are located outdoors and subject to potential wind thrust, earthquakes, accidental impacts with operating machines and other similar situations.
