CHAPTER 1 - OVERVIEW
Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of a Hardy
Bench Scale. Behind your purchase is over 90
years of quality, reliability and technical innova-
tion.
The Hardy Bench Scales are designed for table
top or floor applications requiring high accuracy
and reliability. The covers are all stainless steel
for durability. The bases have no bearings, spirit
levels, or moving parts that can be damaged or
wear out. The active element of the scale is a
precise and accurate strain gauge load sensor.
Description All Hardy Bench Scales come standard in
12”x12”, 18”x18”, and 24”x24” sizes, and range
in capacity from 5lbs – 1,000lbs (2.27kg to 454
kg). Custom sizes and capacities are available
from Hardy upon request.
The basic Hardy Bench Scale consists of three
major components:
1. Stainless Steel Top Cover.
2. Lower Frame Assembly with a load sensor
3. Four Leveling feet.
The Stainless Steel
Top Cover The top cover is a single piece constructed of
heavy gauge 304 Stainless Steel. The cover pro-
vides a washdown weighing surface and offers
protection to the load sensor and electronics.
Lower Frame
Assembly The lower frame comes equipped with four level-
ing feet, a load sensor, a shock load and corner
overload protection. Depending on the model,
the frame is made of stainless steel or painted
carbon steel.
