CMI

Shear beam load cell

04/2006 06-04-02-1 FT

Application
Remarks
A mechanical stop must protect the load cell against "static" overloads.
The ajustment of this stop must leave a gap at least equal to the load
cell’s deflection under full load. The load cell must also be protected by
shock absorbers against shocks, dynamic overloads or vibrations.

Mechanical installation
On metal foot

The force to be measured must be applied on the axis of the load point,
without gap, inclination or torsion.

Application
 Scales.
 Weighing silos, hoppers, tanks.

Presentation
General information
Right mounting Wrong mounting
The CMI load cell consists of a stainless steel body and is hermetically
sealed by laser welded stainless steel cups.
On a metal supporting structure
It has been designed for used in industrial environments with an
aggressive atmosphere, such as the chemical industry. CMI load cells The load cell must be fitted on the axis of the structure.
have a test certificate for 3 000d. Meating the IP 68 standard, CMI load
cells are compact and available in four capacities: 500, 1 000, 2 000
and 5 000 kg.

Special mounting parts to adapt the load cell to its mechanical

environment are available as an option.

Description
The working principle of the CMI load cell is to measure the deformation
of a beam subjected to shear stress. The strain gauges are arranged to
form a Wheatstone bridge, converting the mechanical force exerted on
the load cell into an electrical signal.

Conformity Right mounting Wrong mounting

 Test certificate issued by a notified body in accordance with OIML
recommendation R60.
The supporting structure must be so stiff that it does not bend under the
weight of the load. Reinforcement of the structure may in some cases
be necessary.
Option
Ex version for use in explosive and according to new directive 94/09/
CE. EEx ia IIC T6.
