5.2 Aligning the load cell
Load cells must be installed so that their axis is vertical when not in use.
Even minor deviations can lead to unexpected efects.
When the PR 6001/.. mounting kit is used, the correct position of the adjustment notches
ensures that it is positioned properly (vertical and not jammed or wedged).
If the load cell is installed on a slant accidentally, then this changes its characteristic value.
All load cells must be carefully aligned.
To make it easier to get an exact vertical alignment, the PR 6001/.. mounting kit is
equipped with a mounting aid.
γ
≤1°
The maximum permissible inclination must be strictly observed so that measuring
accuracy is not adversely overly afected (see igure).
Note:
The material properties and the shape of the load cells and load discs are perfectly
matched to one another. Always use load discs from Minebea Intec, see also
Chapter
.
Procedure:
-
Lift up weighing object approx. 5 mm using a jack-up or corresponding lifting device.
-
Correct the position of the load cell using the supporting ring on the lower load disc.
-
Set the weighing object back down on the mounting kit and make sure that the load
cell is vertical and the load cell dome is positioned in the exact center of the load disc.
-
Check to ensure that the adjustment notches are in the correct position.
Note:
Further installation instructions can be found in the manuals of the respective mounting
kits.
