MV-LC0047 Cantilever Load Cell with Axial M14 x 2 Stud

METRAVON MV-LC0047 is a cantilever load cell whose M14 x 2 stud projects from the end opposite the cable. This differs mechanically from a beam loaded through a vertical hole or recess. The reference describes weighing applications but does not establish a general-purpose axial tension or compression specification for the stud. Selection should show where the applied force acts, how the beam is fixed and what the stud connects to in the complete weighing arrangement.

Show the installed force direction before choosing the axial-stud load cell

An end stud is a connection feature, not proof that force should be applied along its axis. Submit the mating bracket, force arrow and supporting faces in section. Identify any offset between the reaction and the approved loading position. Ask for a rated assembly drawing that confirms the intended direction and contact parts. Do not use this model as an inline tension cell merely because the thread can accept a coupling; the available description does not supply that loading approval or a bidirectional calibration.

Fit the M14 x 2 connection without imposing assembly strain

The body-length reference is 107 mm with a further 45.5 mm end projection reference. The outline marks M14 x 2 explicitly. Confirm usable threaded engagement, the unthreaded shoulder and the method of holding the assembly during tightening. The projection is not an engagement specification or a length of fully usable thread. A fitting that bottoms on the wrong surface can preload the beam before a process load is applied. No tightening torque or anti-rotation hardware is defined in the reference.

Preserve the stepped support and two-hole fixing arrangement

Two diameter-11.5 fixing holes are shown 25.4 mm apart. The side view includes a 4 mm underside step, a 49 mm lower reference and vertical annotations of 36 and 32 mm. Review which supporting face is intended to contact the base. A packing strip across the entire underside can eliminate a required clearance. Also reserve space for the cable gland and free lead at the opposite end; neither the body length nor the end projection includes every installed cable bend or tool-access allowance.

Establish the mechanical zero before setting the weighing channel

After the approved connection is fitted, check unloaded return and reference readings with the final cable restraint. If tightening the coupling changes zero, inspect bottoming, constrained movement and fixture contact before applying an electronic tare. The bridge uses 10-12 V DC excitation and nominal 2 mV/V output, with sensitivity tolerance +/-0.002 mV/V. Its input and output resistances are 380 +/-5 and 350 +/-1 ohms. Delivered wire functions must resolve the disagreement between the reference circuit and signal-colour list.

Specify duty and exposure without assuming stud strength from sensor capacity

The technical entry is 0-5 t and requires a definite offered rating. Precision is 0.05% FS, temperature effect 0.05% FS per 10 deg C and safe load 150% FS. None of those entries supplies a separate tensile strength or bending allowance for the proposed coupling. The compensated interval is -10 to +65 deg C; the wider operating interval is -40 to +85 deg C. For the IP68 entry, define the expected exposure and termination. A sealed sensing body does not approve an arbitrary external joint or cable connection.

Where the required head connects vertically, compare the MV-LC0051 M16 load-end layout. Its stepped body and vertical opening differ from this axial-stud arrangement, so the comparison does not establish interchangeability.
