Laumas PS Load Cell Mounting Kit

The Laumas PS load cell mounting kit is a galvanised steel mounting assembly for industrial weighing systems using compatible Laumas shear beam load cells. It is used where the load cell requires controlled mechanical installation, resistance to lateral forces and practical adjustment during commissioning.

This mounting kit range is listed for Laumas FTP, FTK and FTZ shear beam load cells. GNW lists two variants: PS with a maximum load of 5000 kg for FTK, FTP and FTZ load cells in the 3000-5000 kg range, and PS10T with a maximum load of 10000 kg for FTP load cells. Variant selection should always be checked against the load cell model, capacity and weighing structure before ordering.

Installation And Mechanical Function

The PS kit uses a ball joint arrangement to provide constraint against lateral forces and anti-tilt effects. This is important in tanks, hoppers, silos and machinery where side loads, vessel movement or imperfect structural alignment can affect weighing performance. The mounting assembly also compensates for misalignment between the support plates of the structure, reducing the risk of applying unwanted mechanical stress to the load cell.

Height adjustment supports levelling and load sharing during installation. In multi-cell systems, this is particularly relevant because uneven support conditions can cause inconsistent loading between cells. Correct installation remains essential; the kit should be fitted in accordance with the weighing system design and checked during commissioning.

Industrial Weighing Use

The Laumas PS mounting kit is commonly specified for process weighing applications such as silos, mixing machines, tanks and hoppers, including installations subject to vibration from moving parts. It may also be used in platform scale structures where the compatible shear beam load cell and mechanical load path are appropriate.
