Laumas EM Load Cell Mounting Kit

The Laumas EM load cell mounting kit is a ball-and-socket joint with nut for use with tension and compression load cells. It provides a controlled mechanical connection between the load cell and the surrounding structure, helping the applied force remain aligned through the load cell axis.

Correct load introduction is critical in industrial weighing and force measurement. Where threaded tension links, suspended assemblies or compression/tension arrangements are used, the EM joint helps accommodate minor angular deviation and reduces the risk of torque being transferred into the load cell body. This supports more consistent measurement conditions and helps protect the load cell from avoidable mechanical stress.

Model Selection

The EM range is available in multiple threaded sizes, with GNW listing options from M6 to M36. Material options include galvanised C45 steel and selected stainless steel versions. Static load ratings listed by GNW range from 8.1 kN to 146 kN, depending on the selected model.

Selection should be based on the mechanical thread, required load rating, load direction and installation environment. Stainless steel variants may be preferred where corrosion resistance is a practical consideration, while galvanised steel versions are commonly used in general industrial assemblies. Always confirm that the chosen EM model is appropriate for the load cell and structure before installation.

Industrial Weighing Use

These joints are typically specified by weighing system integrators, OEMs and maintenance engineers working with tension load cell assemblies, process weighing equipment and force measurement installations. The compact ball-and-socket format is particularly useful where a rigid threaded connection alone could introduce bending or side loading.

• Product type: ball-and-socket load cell mounting joint with nut.
• Use: tension and compression load cell installations.
• Materials: galvanised C45 steel or selected stainless steel versions.
• Selection factors: thread size, load rating, material and application conditions.

For replacement work, identify the existing EM model code and verify thread size before ordering. For new systems, the mounting arrangement should be reviewed as part of the full load cell installation, including load path, restraints, structure stiffness and access for maintenance.
