Laumas VDTX Load Cell Mounting Kit

Laumas VDTX Load Cell Mounting Kit

The Laumas VDTX load cell mounting kit is a heavy-duty mounting assembly for Laumas DTX double shear beam load cells. It provides a rigid mechanical interface between the load cell and the weighing structure, helping engineers install high-capacity weighing points with controlled load introduction and reduced unwanted movement.

Manufactured from nickel-plated steel alloy, the VDTX is intended for industrial environments where the mounting arrangement must withstand demanding mechanical conditions. Its function is to secure the load cell and prevent horizontal movement, which is particularly important where vessel movement, machinery vibration, wind effect or structural forces may influence weighing performance.

The kit has an application range up to 27,000 kg or 60 klb. GNW product data lists compatibility with Laumas DTX load cells from 30 klb to 60 klb. Capacity, load cell model and mounting geometry should always be checked against the full system design before specification, particularly when replacing an existing assembly or integrating into a certified weighing installation.

Industrial Weighing Applications

VDTX mounting kits are used in high-capacity weighing systems including on-board weighing, overhead cranes, silos, tanks, mixing machines and hoppers. These structures often experience vibration or external forces, so the mechanical mounting arrangement is a critical part of the weighing system rather than a secondary accessory.

For OEMs, weighing system integrators and maintenance teams, the VDTX offers a defined mounting solution for compatible DTX double shear beam load cells. It is also relevant where the weighing system is approved for legal use with third parties, provided the complete system specification and approval requirements are correctly observed.
