F.7 Mounting the Load Cells
F.7.1 Preparations
Prepare the installation in good time by checking that the necessary documents and material are
available, as follows:
• Installation drawings and this manual.
• Standard tools, torque wrench and instruments.
• Rust protection, if additional protection is to be given to machined surfaces.
Choose TECTYL 511 (Valvoline) or FERRYL (104), for example.
• Locking fluid (medium strength) to lock fixing screws.
• Screws as listed in Table F-1 and Table F-2 to secure the load cell, and other screws for
bearing housings etc.
• Load cells, adapter plates, bearing housings, etc.
F.7.2 Mounting
The instructions below apply to a typical mounting arrangement. Variations may be allowed,
provided that the requirements of Section F.4 are complied with.
1. Clean the foundation and other mounting surfaces.
2. Fit the lower adapter plate to the load cell. Tighten the screws to the torque stated in
Table F-1 or Table F-2 and lock them with locking fluid.
3. Fit the load cell and the lower adapter plate to the foundation, but do not fully tighten the
screws.
4. Fit the upper adapter plate to the load cell, tighten to the torque stated in Table F-1 or
Table F-2, and apply locking fluid.
5. Fit the bearing housing and the roll to the upper adapter plate, but do not fully tighten the
screws.
6. Adjust the load cells so that they are in parallel with each other and in line with the axial
direction of the roll. Tighten the foundation screws.
7. Adjust the roll so that it is at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the load cells.
Tighten the screws in the upper adapter plate.
8. Apply rust protection to any machined surfaces that are not rust proof.
