Patented Mount Tackles Tension
An innovative new type of loading assembly for weighing suspended loads has been developed to allow simple, fast installation and removal of the load cell without any specialist tools or equipment.
Raising The Standard
Thames Side-Maywood is now able to supply the Series 350 load cell for industrial weighing.
The LeverMount assembly was developed to allow fast installation and removal of a load cell without specialist equipment, significantly reducing installation costs.
It has a patented design which can be safely raised and lowered under load with no need for separate support pillars or external jacks.
Its combination of simplicity and ingenuity has already proven to be highly successful, with hundreds of units in service worldwide.
The original, stainless steel assembly is available with a choice of four single-ended shear beam load cells rated for 300kg, 500kg, 1000kg or 2000kg.
The new, larger assembly extends this range progressively through 3000kg to 5000kg, providing a wide choice for many different vessel weighing applications.
To ensure durability even in the harshest environments, the LeverMount loading assembly combines a simple, two-part mount cast in stainless steel with a fully-welded OIML C3, stainless steel load cell sealed to IP68.
The assembly can be configured for radial, tangential or offset mounting, allowing easy alignment during installation.
A substantial lift-off prevention capacity ensures safety and consistent accuracy.
The top plate is designed for linear and rotational movement to accommodate any misalignment of steelwork, and to prevent errors due to expansion and contraction of the vessel.
