Compression Canisters
Construction and Features
1) The canister load cell is screwed to the base plate of the mount
with four screws through the base plate and into the lower
mounting flange of the load cell.
2) The base plate mounts directly to the foundation or structural
support surface.
3) The rounded load button contacts the bottom of the hardened
top loading plate. The top loading plate can be bolted directly
to the vessel.
4) An upper flange on the load cell is gripped by a collar on the
two triangular-shaped plates which hold the top loading plate
on the load cell.
5) This arrangement allows the top loading plate to float freely
on the load button for thermal expansion, yet provides side
checking and lift-off capabilities.
6) The mount comes standard with nickel-plated alloy steel load
cells from 50,000 to 500,000 lb. High temperature load cells
are also available.
7) The mount is also available in 304 stainless steel.
Typical Application
65092 Tank Mounts
The low-profile 65092 TWA module is available in capacities from
50,000 to 500,000 lb. This unique canister load cell module is not
designed to accommodate as much thermal expansion movement
as the MagnaMount, but it has the advantage of being self-check-
ing, so check rods are not required to restrain lateral movement.
The module will tolerate side loading up to 30% of load cell
capacity and also provides lift-off protection.
