LeverMount® is a unique, patented and cost-effective solution for process weighing in harsh environments. Using this simple innovative design, installation is easier, safer and faster. By combining a 316 stainless steel mounting accessory with an OIML approved load cell protected to IP68 and IP69K, it is the ideal solution for commercial legal weighing applications requiring washdown cleaning, even in hazardous (ATEX) environments.
No separate lifting equipment (such as a hydraulic jack or lifting tool) is required to lift and lower the weighing container, even when the container is full - so installation is very simple and fast. There is no need for production to stop if a load cell needs to be replaced in the future. The 3-point base mount provides excellent mechanical stability without the need for shims.
We supply the LeverMount® mounting accessory in a locked position. The load cell can remain safely in its packaging until the mechanical installation is complete, thus preventing any possible damage. The LeverMount® toggle bolts are then removed and the same bolts are used to secure the load cell in place; in this way, the load cell acts as a lever to raise the top plate of the mounting accessory into the weighing position, whether the container is empty or full. Removing and reattaching a load cell is simple and very fast.
LeverMount® is available in 2 versions:
- A standard version for static applications such as tank and hopper weighing.
- A special self-centering (SC) version for dynamic applications (uses a ball and cup kit for up to 2500 kg capacity or a ball-end column and housing kit for 3000 kg and 5000 kg capacities) platform scales or conveyor scales with end stops (when automatic centering of the mounting accessory is required due to repetitive movements)
