MV-LC0046 Cantilever Load Cell with Rated Mounting Groups

METRAVON MV-LC0046 is a cantilever load cell with a recessed load-end feature and two fixing positions towards the cable end. It is intended for a defined load-head and base arrangement in industrial weighing. The technical table states 0-5 t, while the dimensional table also includes larger ratings. That inconsistency must be resolved for the offered configuration; the presence of a larger dimensional row does not establish a verified higher-capacity product specification.

Match the cantilever load cell fixing group to the selected rating

Within the documented technical interval, the 0.5-2 t row gives L203 mm, H43 mm, W1 36.5 mm and D2 fixing holes of 13 mm. The 3 t row retains those body dimensions but changes D2 to 15 mm. The row shared by 5 and 8 t gives L235 mm, H52 mm, W1 47.5 mm and D2 20 mm. Use its 5 t dimensional reference only with confirmation of the offered 5 t assembly. Do not transfer the 8 t designation into the verified technical range.

Keep the recessed load contact separate from the base attachment

The outline distinguishes the load-end D/D1 recess from the two D2 fixing positions. A mating pin, head or seat needs a defined contact and retention arrangement; it is not selected by whichever circular opening appears to fit. Include the underside relief, available height and removal access in the support section. The dimensional table changes the load-end diameters with the mounting group as well. Reusing a loading head therefore requires a contact check in addition to the base-hole comparison.

Confirm reaction and useful weighing interval before retaining a larger group

Provide the permanent structure weight, maximum contents and largest individual reaction under the governing loaded positions. A support that occasionally carries a disproportionate share needs that load case identified. The listed safe-load limit is 150% FS, not a universal design multiplier for the support steelwork. Precision is listed at 0.05% FS, with a separate temperature-effect entry of 0.05% FS per 10 deg C. State the useful weight changes and installed acceptance points rather than assuming those entries determine the result of the complete hopper or platform.

Review the retained indicator against this bridge and cable

The electrical reference gives 2.0 +/-0.002 mV/V sensitivity at 10-12 V DC excitation, with 380 +/-5 ohms input resistance and 350 +/-1 ohm output resistance. Record the other connected cells and any junction-box adjustments if only one support is being changed. The reference cable entry is 6 m. Obtain the delivered terminal record because the circuit and colour list disagree on the signal pair; perform a controlled loading-sign check before adjusting span or corner balance.

Check the actual support after the structure is reassembled

Look for contact at the relieved underside, binding loading parts, changed restraints and cable pull before making zero corrections. Repeat the agreed load positions and unloading return with all normal attachments in place. Temperature compensation is specified for -10 to +65 deg C, distinct from -40 to +85 deg C operation. IP68 also needs the delivered sealing configuration and exposure conditions stated. Neither the wider operating interval nor the enclosure code confirms every immersed pit installation or external cable junction.

For MV-LC0046, submit the selected rated group, base and loading-head sections, maximum support reaction, connected weighing channel and exposure.
