Load Cell Assembly
It is important that pairs of load cells are kept together and are eventually re-assembled together. load cell assemblies are matched pairs.
Use a suitable lubricant - anti thread seizure.
Apply a smear of anti-thread seizure around the bottom load cell outer thread. Make sure this fine thread is clean and clear of debris.
Thread the two load cells together.
It may be necessary to fit two socket head cap screws to the manifold block fixing holes in order to lever the two load cells fully together.
Hold the lower load cell firmly and tap the upper load cell around until the two load cells fully butt together.
It is important that the two machined semi-circular alignment features align perfectly to make a full circle. This ensures that the manifold block will fit correctly.
Screw the two load cells tightly together until the machined alignment circle forms a full circle.
