MOUNTING WITH EASY MOUNT
The EASY MOUNT incorporates the fixing plates, the support parts, the counter force and the
anti-rotation (displacement) in one direction. This kit with ball joint absorbs forces of up to 20 kN
in the direction X and leaves enough freedom of movement in the direction Z for dilatations.
CAUTION: this kit of assembly does not rigidify the assembly overall and does not allow to
catch up possible buckling of foot. These feet must thus be dimensioned consequently to avoid
any risk of buckling following deformation or slight rotation of the body of silo.
3.1.
Mounting with 3 load cells
This mounting offers the best properties for he distribution of loads and freedom for the
dilations of the part to be weighed.
3.2.
Mounting with more than 3 loadcells:
When more than 3 load cells are used, each one must be placed at the same level to obtain a good equivalent load distribution. Each load cells
output signals and the empty part to be weighed must be identical (case of a symmetrical part).
So, to avoid cramping the displacements (dilatation) of the part to be weighed, use only 3 I5950; for the fourth load cells, use the M5950 mounting
kit. If dimensional variations are weak, use a mounting with 4 x I5950, giving better characteristics in order to stand up to parasite efforts.
Note: The characteristics of the sensors are guaranteed between –10°C and 45°C without thermal gradient at the level of the sensor and rapid
variation of the temperature, use a protective screen insulated to form a barrier between the source of the heat and the load cells (sun, wind,
thermal radiation, conduction).
