MV-LC0044 Cantilever Load Cell with Recessed Load-End Seat

METRAVON MV-LC0044 is a cantilever load cell with a recessed load-end seat in its reference outline. The beam is listed for a technical interval of 0-5 t, with a 137 mm body-length reference. The recess and lower opening need a matched load-transfer part, not a fitting selected only because it enters the hole. For low-profile frames and hoppers, show that contact together with the fixing end and underside clearance before confirming the assembly.

Match the cantilever load cell recessed seat to its contact part

The load-end view gives a 26 mm outer recess and a 16 mm inner opening, with a 4.2 mm recess-depth annotation in section. A further 24 mm vertical reference appears at that end. Obtain the complete toleranced seat and mating-part drawing before deciding which surfaces bear and which merely provide clearance. The opening is diameter-labelled, not a confirmed threaded connection. Neither the recess depth nor the visible circular geometry specifies a permissible pin fit, tightening torque or lateral-load allowance.

Check the fixing pattern and the full lower contact arrangement

The plan-width reference is 36.6 mm. The load-end centre has an 18.4 mm end offset, followed by a 76.2 mm spacing to the first fixing position; the paired diameter-13 fixing holes are 25.4 mm apart. The side view shows 34.5 and 36.6 mm vertical references and a separate 59 mm lower length. Confirm the intended fixed-end supporting surface rather than adding a continuous packing strip below the whole beam. The relieved underside must not gain another load-bearing contact as the frame moves.

Describe the largest local reaction and the small weight changes that matter

Provide frame or vessel tare, maximum contents and any uneven support loading caused by the actual layout. A forklift or hopper application reference is not an approval for every bracket or pipe connection. Specify the useful net interval and required installed readings, especially where a substantial dead load is present. The 0.05% FS precision entry applies on a full-scale basis. The 150% FS safe-load entry cannot be used as a rated load for a locally made seat or as a general overload-test instruction for the structure.

Confirm the bridge and temperature interval for the chosen rated version

The channel uses 2.0 +/-0.002 mV/V at 10-12 V DC excitation, with 380 +/-5 ohms input and 350 +/-1 ohm output resistance. The reference lists 6 m of cable. Use the delivered wiring record to resolve the conflicting reference signal-colour list and circuit. Temperature compensation is specified over -10 to +65 deg C, while operation is listed over -40 to +85 deg C. Define the expected sensor temperature and weighing acceptance without treating the whole operating interval as one compensated measurement specification.

Accept the frame after the final recessed fitting is in place

Inspect the fixed end, seat, lower relief and cable restraint before correcting zero. Apply agreed reference weights through the actual load head and compare loading, unloading return and any relevant support positions. If changing a guide or cable restraint changes the indication, examine the contact path before changing span. For IP68, obtain the delivered sealing details and expected exposure conditions, including the junction location. The technical range alone does not prove that every offered rating shares this reference geometry or that a replacement can retain all old contact parts.

Compare the MV-LC0045 smaller load-end opening if the retained fitting does not match this recess. The comparison is about contact geometry; it does not establish a direct replacement from the common body length.

Quote MV-LC0044 with the selected rating, 26/16 mm seat and mating-part section, fixing base, support reactions and useful weighing interval.
