Parallel beam load cell installation stepsParallel beam load cells are a common type of load cell, which has many advantages, such as simple structure, high accuracy, good stability, etc. [Suzhou Onkyo Electronics-Zhang Gong].Introduction, when installing a parallel beam load cell, there are certain steps that need to be followed to ensure that it works properly and prolong its service life. Below we will detail the installation steps of the parallel beam load cell.
1.Preparation.
Adequate preparation is required before installing a parallel beam load cell. First of all, to choose the right installation location, considering the accuracy and stability of the load cell, you should choose a flat, strong, vibration-free flat surface or bracket for installation. Secondly, according to the model and specifications of the load cell, prepare the corresponding installation tools and accessories.
2.Basic production.
Making the foundation in the mounting position is one of the key steps in the installation of a parallel beam load cell. The foundation should be flat, sturdy, and free of looseness to ensure the stability and accuracy of the load cell. When making the foundation, sufficient space and support should be reserved according to the size and weight of the load cell to avoid the sensor shaking or sinking during operation.
3.Install the sensor.
After the foundation is made, the parallel beam load cell can be installed on the foundation. During installation, care should be taken to protect the sensor from damage caused by drops or collisions. At the same time, it is important to ensure that there is close contact between the sensor and the foundation to avoid gaps or loosening. During installation, some adjustment devices or gaskets can also be used to adjust the levelness and height of the sensor to ensure its accuracy and stability.
4.Connect the line.
Once the parallel beam load cell has been installed, the sensor line needs to be connected to the weighing indicator or related equipment. When connecting the line, care should be taken to protect the line to avoid damage or interference. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the line connection is firm and reliable to avoid poor contact or loosening.
5.Commissioning and calibration.
Once the installation and connection of the wiring are complete, the parallel beam load cells need to be commissioned and calibrated. This step is important because only a calibrated sensor can guarantee its measurement accuracy and stability. During calibration, the sensor should be tested and adjusted using standard weights or other standard weights to ensure that its accuracy and linearity meet the requirements.
