4.1
Load cell dummies
Principle of operation
Load cells are sensitive sensors. To protect the load cells from becoming damaged during
installation and transport, the load cells should only be installed at the last minute. During
installation and transport, the load cells should therefore be replaced by space holders, so-
called dummies or phantoms.
Dummies might be designed as follows:
●
A copy of the installation unit by means of a welded construction for coarse installation
work
●
Use of a SIWAREX WL280 compact installation unit for light installation work
A copy of the installation unit by means of a welded construction
A piece of pipe or some other steel profile is welded between two plates with the hole pattern
for the fixing screws. The total height corresponds to the installation height of the installation
unit. This is the most stable and secure version. Rough installation work can be carried out
with the welded construction.
Use of a SIWAREX WL280 compact installation unit
The compact installation units are delivered pre-assembled. Compact installation units are
set to the installation height of the operational unit. With compact installation units, light
installation work can be carried out.
4.2
Lifting protection
Lifting protection is integrated in the compact installation units for the load cells of the
SIWAREX WL280 series. When other installation units are used, lifting protection must be
provided for in the design if applicable.
The following figure shows a proposed solution for lifting protection. The X designates the
possible lifting path of the load bearing implement. The bore ØD must be larger than the
diameter of the bolt Ød. The movement of the load bearing implement must not be hindered.
