Basic function
The basic function of the rubber element is to prevent side forces from affecting
load cell performance and at the same time, keeping the load carrier in position.
The rubber element is not to be seen as a vibration damper although is has a
limited damping effect.
It is relatively stiff in vertical direction while weak in horizontal direction.
No side force = centred Side force acting
Height Adjustment
Figure 1
For Type 52-02 the
height can be
adjusted by adding
standard washers
between the loading
pin and the rubber
foot. See Figure 1.
For Type 52-10 (and 52-15) the height is adjusted by simply rotating the rubber
foot. The loading pin is prevented from rotation with the foot by the retaining
screw. See Figure 2.
