What is a self-aligning mount?

A good mount is just as important as the load cell itself. This low-range self-aligning mount is specially designed to provide a solution for all the mechanical aspects that determine accurate weighing in process applications. The importance of proper alignment is often underestimated; that is one of the issues this mount will resolve for you.

Its specific design ensures proper installation, and the mount itself guarantees that maximum accuracy—1/10,000 and often even better—is achieved and maintained. It can be easily installed by someone with little experience in weighing systems.

This mount is the tool that will help you install your system easily and correctly and achieve highly accurate weighing results.

The Lo-SALM comes with a clear manual that explains how to easily assemble a complete weighing system using several of these mounts.

A good mount is just as important as the load cell itself

The Easy Mount was specially designed to provide a solution for all the mechanical aspects that determine accurate weighing in process applications. Thanks to its ingenious force transmission system with crossed axes, the weight is always transferred to exactly the same point on the load cell, even when the unit is tilted. When a silo or reactor expands, the shaft slides over the load cell, but the point of contact on the load cell always remains exactly the same. In this way, this mount ensures that maximum accuracy—1/10,000 and often even better—is achieved and maintained. It can be easily installed by someone with little experience in weighing systems.

Compression load cells offer advantages for certain applications.

Compression load cells have certain advantages and disadvantages; the key is to use them only in applications for which they are best suited.

Compression load cells are sensitive to misalignment, especially the single-column models. The multi-column cells perform better but are more expensive. Misalignment causes a loss of accuracy. Compression load cells are also poorly resistant to lateral forces; they must be protected against these by a mount. Therefore, compression load cells must always be used in a pendulum-type, self-centering assembly or mount. This is the case, for example, with weighbridges; in fact, most compression load cells are designed for this purpose.

The COMP-SALM shown above is self-centering and pendulum-type. The self-centering feature is particularly necessary for moving structures such as container loaders or other mobile heavy-duty structures. It is less suitable for accurate silo weighing.

However, the cost of a very high-capacity compression load cell (over 100 metric tons) is significantly lower than that of a shear beam, which is why they are suitable for weighing very heavy silos. However, they will never achieve the high accuracy possible with a shear beam (Easy Mount)

The COMP Self-Aligning Mount (10, 25, & 40 metric tons per mount) was specially designed for container loaders. Both during installation and later during use, this mount ensures that maximum accuracy is achieved and maintained: 1/5,000 and sometimes even better. It can be easily installed by someone with little experience in weighing systems.
This mount is the tool that will help you install efficiently and weigh with high precision.
