Load cell assemblies handle heavy vessels
Thames Side-Maywood has extended its family of LeverMount load cell assemblies to include a new, larger mount designed to take 3000 to 5000kg capacity load cells.
Launched last year, its combination of simplicity and ingenuity has already proven to be highly successful.
The LeverMount is supplied as a complete assembly with its own load cell.
It has an exclusive design which can be safely raised and lowered under load with no need for separate support pillars or external jacks.
In its first year, sales of the LeverMount assembly have exceeded Thames Side-Maywood's expectations.
The hygienic, stainless steel mount has proved especially popular in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
John Harrison, Industrial Weighing Product Manager for Thames Side-Maywood, says: "I am very pleased that the LeverMount assembly has been chosen for the RS Catalogue.
It is one of the most important and most often used sources of equipment.
LeverMount's inclusion is evidence of the popularity of its simple but clever design, and another stage in its continuing success".
LeverMount is available with a choice of four single-ended shear beam load cells rated for 300, 500, 1000 or 2000kg.
A larger mount supplied with a 5000kg load cell will soon be available.
The assembly can be configured for radial, tangential or offset mounting, allowing easy alignment during installation.
A substantial lift-off prevention capacity ensures safety and consistent accuracy.
