HIDSB and HIDSBMT Installation Guide 3

 INTRODUCTION

Double-ended Shear beams are medium- and high-capacity workhorses that are very
rugged, stable, and able to handle side loads well. The HIDSBMT mount is recommended
for the center-loaded Load Cell model HIDSB. ꞏ
In applications where substantial thermal expansion/contraction is expected, or room is not
available to raise a vessel significantly for load cell replacement, the HIDSB mount is highly
recommended in this type of application. Using a double-ended, center-loaded module is an
excellent choice to handle vessel movement and limited space requirements.
The mount uses a round-load cell that allows the top-loading pivot to correct minor alignment
problems. The weigh module can also accommodate substantial movement in the direction
perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the load cell.
The load cell in the mount is supported on hardened circular pivots (RC-46/48). Screws
secure it to the base. The top chair is held captive by removable pins on the top and bottom
of the load cell. This allows the load cell replacement without raising the vessel by merely
taking the load off of the weigh module.
This document contains important guidelines for applying load to a center-loaded, double-
ended shear beam load cell and for orienting the mount for use with model HIDSB.

 1 HIDSBMT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Overview
The HIDSBMT mount is designed for use with the HIDSB Nickel Chrome plated alloy steel
or HIDSB stainless shear beams. Together these two products compose the mount weighing
assembly.

1.2 Installation Hints

 The mounting surfaces for the BASE (4) and LOADING PLATE (12) must be level, and the
distance between them must be within 1/32'' of the nominal height (7). If the BASE is
mounted on concrete, grouting is an accepted method for leveling.
 All welding on and around the installation should be done before installing LOAD CELLS
(2).
 Proper drainage is a must and should be provided so that the weighing assembly is not
standing in water.
 If weighing vessels and surrounding equipment are frequently steam cleaned, a protective
shroud for the weighing assembly is recommended.

1.3 HIDSBMT Orientation

The best mounting/installation for several vessel types is shown in Figure 1-4, where a line
of the vessel is at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the load cell. These
recommendations are particularly important when significant thermal expansion/contraction
is expected.
The HIDSB should be oriented with the load cell's longitudinal axis in line with the expected
movement.
Figure 1-1 shows the recommended placement and orientation for double-ended beam
typical installations.

1.4 HIDSBMT General Mounting Principles

 The load cell should be horizontal in both directions.
 The load should be applied vertically through the cell's center.
 The load should be introduced without producing a twisting effect around the center.
 The load must not move along the cell.

1.6 Assembly Procedure

The HIDSBMT weighing module has six major parts (see Figure 1-3):
 The BASE (4) is attached to the mounting surface that supports the entire assembly.
 The LOAD CELL (2) and SUPPORT PINS (3) are bolted to the BASE (4).
 The LOADING BRACKET (1) is held captive by the RETAINING PIN (9).
The type of installation will dictate how you locate, attach, and assemble the parts for the
mount weigh module assembly. Some judgement must be exercised depending on
application.
In a typical installation:
1. Locate the BASE (4) and LOADING BRACKET (1), and bolt them to the mounting
surface and weighing vessel, respectively.
2. Insert the LOAD CELL (2) through the large hole in the side of the LOADING BRACKET
(1).
3. Pass the MOUNTING BOLTS (10) through the ends of the LOAD CELL (2) and
SUPPORT PINS (3), and threaded into the BASE (4) and hand tightened. The center line
of the SUPPORT PINS (3) must be perpendicular to the center line of the LOAD CELL
(2).
4. If properly positioned, the BEARING PIN (11) and RETAINING PIN (9) will easily slide
into the LOADING BRACKET (1). Neither should be forced into position. Use COTTER
PINS (7) to hold both PINS captive.
5. For multi-cell applications, install the other mount weighing assemblies in the same way.
6. Make the final height adjustments by inserting spacers between the top of the LOADING
BRACKET (1) and the weighing vessel.
7. Torque the MOUNTING BOLTS (10) to 20 foot-pounds.
Figure 1-3 shows the HIDSBMT outline drawing and parts identification.

 2 HIDSBMT CONSTRUCTION AND FEATURES

Each end of the load cell is screwed to a base through a hardened cylindrical spacer, which
is cross-drilled to allow the screw to pass through.
The chair assembly has a clearance through which the load cell passes. A hardened load
pin is inserted horizontally at the top of the clearance hole, which transmits the load to the
cell. Another pin sits in an angular groove at the center of the cell.
This arrangement allows the chair to move in practically all directions, as shown in Figure
1-2, while providing checking in all directions.
To remove the load cell, raise the vessel only enough to relieve the load from the cell.
The HIDSB design locks the tank or hopper to the weigh module, obviating the need for
check rods in most applications.
 Safe overload: 150%
 Ultimate Overload: 300%
 Safe side load: 50%
 Weighing system accuracy: ±.02%
(Overall System accuracy is dependent on the quality of the installation.)
 Meets UBC 94 Seismic Zone 1-4 Requirements
