MV-WM0014 Double-Shear Beam Weigh Module, Four Mounting Sizes

METRAVON MV-WM0014 is a double-shear beam weigh module with two end supports and a central upper loading member. Four mounting-size groups cover listed intervals from 1-5 klb to 100-125 klb. The base length increases from 235 mm to 596.9 mm across those groups. Treat the complete assembly as a structural interface: moving to a higher range can change the vessel bracket, foundation footprint and access needed for replacement.

Choose a mounting size before designing the hopper bracket

The 1-5 klb row has an A base length of 235 mm, B height of 127 mm and C width of 127 mm. At 100-125 klb those references become 596.9 mm, 298.5 mm and 355.6 mm. The intervening groups are not scaled versions that can be approximated from a photograph. Select the required individual rating first, then compare both fixing interfaces and the available surrounding space with the actual row. Do not interpolate a missing capacity into a convenient footprint.

Review beam seats when an existing platform drifts

A loaded platform or hopper can change shape enough to disturb seating or touch a surrounding stop. Inspect the beam end supports, central loading connection and any retained restraints before deciding that the sensing element has failed. Record whether the error appears during loading, persists after unloading or changes when connected equipment is isolated safely. The module has no documented unlimited side-load tolerance; forcing it into misaligned steelwork can defeat the intended vertical force transfer.

Specify anchors and plates from the selected group

I is the fixing-hole diameter reference, increasing from 14.2 mm in the smallest group to 20.6 mm in both middle groups and 28.4 mm in the largest. Shared hole diameters do not establish a shared anchor pattern. D and E change across all four rows, as do the upper plate and fixing references F and G. Compare plate contact areas and the support stiffness as well as bolt locations. Any anchor or foundation design must be checked for the actual reactions and structure rather than inferred from the sensor rating.

Retain enough access to remove the beam safely

The assembly photograph shows the sensing beam spanning the two supports beneath a central member. Plan how the vessel or hopper will be supported independently before that beam is unloaded or removed. Include cable access and the space required around the end connections. The retained frame, lifting points and temporary support method need separate approval; the module is not a documented lifting fixture. State maintenance restrictions during enquiry so that the mounting solution is assessed in its installed position, not only on a drawing.

Agree on the delivered measurement configuration

Ask for the exact beam rating, calibrated sensitivity, electrical resistance, excitation and cable identification with the assembly quote. Those values are not supplied by the dimensional table. Give the maximum support reaction and the smallest useful weighing change so that the reader and any signal conditioner can be checked together. Verify the final installation through repeated reference loading and unloading, with the normal connections and restraints in place. Keep the mechanical drawing and calibration settings with the spare-part record to avoid replacing by appearance later.

Request MV-WM0014 with the selected klb group, hopper bracket and foundation drawings, highest support reactions, maintenance access and required weighing channel.
