RCA/RCD mounting advice in weighbridge application

General hints
The RCA/RCD is a pendulum load cell designed to automatically restore the mounting construction to a stable initial position in
the case of a small lateral displacement of the load introduction. This assembly is ideally suited for weighbridge applications. It
allows free motion in any direction in the horizontal plane at the same time supplying a restoring moment whilst retaining the slope
of the load sell. It allows for thermal expansion of the bridge structure.
The maximum permissible lateral displacement or slope (see specifications) must not be exceeded, otherwise the load cells might
fall over or be prematurely deteriorated.

Install and adjust appropriate stops.
Preparation for mounting
•
All load cells must be placed in an upright position and must be placed on the same horizontal level.
•
The base and load plates should be seated on a steel plates. These mounting surfaces must have a flatness < 2/1000 and
an horizontality < 4/1000.
!
Surfaces

must be flat, horizontal and at the same level.
