HI LPB SERIES LOAD POINT ASSEMBLY
Page 6
NOTE: All load point assemblies must have the same capacity
when used in one scale.
Principle #2 • All scales should include one fixed pin-load
mount, one bumper pin-load mount. All other
load point assemblies in a scale must be the free-
sliding mount.
Principle #3 • Place the fixed pin load mount and the bumper
pin load mount as far as possible from each other.
• The fixed pin load mount and the bumper pin
load mount must be mounted in the same longitu-
dinal axis.
• In applications that use three load points it is
sometimes difficult to mount the fixed pin and
bumper load mounts in-line. Therefore the fixed
pin and bumper load mounts can be positioned at
a 45
o
angle from each other and 45
o
from the free
pin load mount. Please see the mounting dia-
grams below for more information.
Principle #4 • If possible the fixed pin load mount should be
installed such that the load mount is oriented in
the direction of travel (e.g. when under a con-
veyor, the load mount must be in the same longi-
tudinal axis with the direction of the travel of the
conveyor). The load mount must be oriented in
the direction of any prevalent side force.
Typical Mounting
Arrangements
NOTE: You can orient the load point assemblies to meet your
system installation requirements. Load point assem-
blies can be rotated 360
o
in 90
o
increments. Examples
above are recommendations only. The only required
orientation is that the bumper load cell must point
either towards or directly away from the fixed load
point.
Use the load cell cable for the pointer to ensure that
the vessel cannot rotate and allow the cells to slide off
their mounts.
