Mounting module aids critical level
measurements
HBM has a mounting module for its RTN series of load cells that prevents damage caused by pulsed loads when mounting containers during gravimetric level measurements.

Six month payback is expected following the installation of HBM monitoring equipment for the press-fit routines in a new type of automated production line.
HBM's solution has been to design a very compact module that includes the RTN load cell.
When taking measurements a dummy module is initially fitted while the container is being mounted.
Once the container is properly sited the dummy cell is replaced with the RTN module.
Unlike earlier designs, the new solution prevents overloading or destruction of pre-mounted load cells by pulsed loads during container mounting.
The RTN module has been developed for critical areas in industry where elastomer bearings made of neoprene cannot be used.
Suitable applications are found in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnical industries.
Mounting modules are available for RTN load cells with nominal (rated) loads ranging from 1 to 33t.
Up to nominal (rated) loads of 22t they are only available with stainless steel elements while the 33t nominal (rated) load mounting module is available in a galvanised version as well. Request a free brochure from HBM UK ...
