Load Cell Mounting
Mounting load cells typically involves securing the load cell to the frame via a
threaded bolt along with associated hardware (in most cases a flat washer,
adapter sleeve, and plate assembly). The following illustrations show the
standard mounting configurations. Following the illustrations is a table that
provides frame size, bolt thread size, and recommended torque value.
