LeverMount®

The LeverMount^® is a unique, patented and cost-effective solution for process weighing in harsh environments.

Installation is easier, safer and faster using this simple innovative design.

It combines a 316 stainless steel mounting accessory with an OIML approved load cell (bending beam or shear beam) protected to IP68 and IP69K, creating an ideal solution for legal-for-trade weighing applications requiring wash-down cleaning, even in hazardous (ATEX) areas.

Separate lifting equipment (such as a hydraulic jack or lifting tool) is NOT required to raise and lower the weighing vessel, even if the vessel is full - therefore the installation is very simple and fast.  And the manufacturing process does not need to stop if a load cell must be changed in the future.

The 3-point base mounting provides excellent mechanical stability with no need for shims.

We supply the LeverMount^® mounting accessory locked in position. The load cell can remain safely in its packaging until the mechanical installation (and any necessary welding) is complete, thus avoiding potential damage. The LeverMount^® transit bolts are then removed and the same bolts are used to secure the load cell in position; in this way the load cell acts as a lever to raise the upper plate of the mounting accessory into the weighing position, no matter whether the vessel is empty or full.

Removal and re-installation of a load cell is simple and very fast.

The LeverMount^® is available in 2 versions:

- A standard version (which uses a hardened load button and saddle) for static applications such as tank and hopper weighing

- A special self-centering (SC) version (which uses a ball-and-cup kit up to 2500kg capacity, or a spherical-ended-pillar-and-cup kit at 3000kg & 5000kg capacities) for 'dynamic' applications such as platform scales, or conveyor scales with an end stop (when self-centering of the mounting accessory is required due to repetitive movements)

Key features:

• Capacity range 5-5000kg in 3 body sizes; uses T66 or T85 load cell
• NEW capacity: 2500kg using mid-size accessory (300kg-2500kg capacity range)
• Mounting accessory is 316 stainless steel
• No requirement for separate lifting equipment, such as a hydraulic jack
• Vessel can remain full when a loadcell is fitted or removed: minimum production down-time
• Shims are not required, due to the 3-point base mounting
• Load cells are fully welded and hermetically sealed to IP68/IP69K
  • T66 load cell: approved to OIML R60 C3 (3000 divisions) or C6 (6000 divisions)
  • T85 load cell: approved to OIML R60 C3 (3000 divisions) and calibrated in mV/V/Ohm for faster setup
• ATEX option for use in all zones (no need for safety barriers in dust zones 20, 21 and 22)
• Optional high temperature version of T66/T85 load cell, for use up to +150 °C (continuous)

Typical applications:

• Hopper and tank weighing, even in harsh 'wash-down' environments
• Platform scales or conveyor scales with an end stop (using the self-centering version)
