● Has a self-centering effect on the load bearing implement Pressure piece set for SIWAREX WL270 CP-S SB The self-centering pressure piece set for SIWAREX WL270 CP-S SB load cells is especially well suited for installation in vehicle scales, platform weighing machines, and container weighers.
Therefore supporting structures complying with the general rules of mechanical engineering must be designed by the customer for installing the pressure piece set. As an alternative installation units from the product range of Siemens can be used. 3.1.2 Lifting protection The lifting protection prevents the load bearing implements from being lifted off of the load cells.
Description 3.2 Layout and function 3.1.4 Use of the grounding cable The grounding cable is used to protect the load cells from undesired currents. The causes of such currents are, for example: ● Equalizing currents with missing or faulty equipotential bonding conductors. ●...

Description 3.2 Layout and function ① Upper pressure piece ② Load cell, not included in the scope of delivery ③ Pin in lower pressure piece: Prevents the load cell from twisting ④ Lower twist-proof pressure piece Figure 3-3 Exploded view: Pressure piece set with installed load cell Principle of operation The pressure pieces ensure the lateral guidance of the load cells and, together with the load cell, form a self-centering unit.
Description 3.2 Layout and function 3.2.2 Design and function of the grounding cable Design The grounding cable consists of a fine-gauge copper wire with a cross-section of 50 mm and two lugs, Ø 10 mm. Principle of operation The grounding cable represents an electrical bypass via the load cell and pressure piece set. High weld currents can destroy the load cell, pressure piece set or the electronics.

Application planning Load cell dummies Principle of operation Load cells are sensitive sensors. To protect the load cells from becoming damaged during installation and transport, the load cells should only be installed at the last minute. During installation and transport, the load cells should therefore be replaced by space holders, so- called dummies or phantoms.
Application planning 4.3 Load pick-up Load pick-up Mounting surfaces For the mounting surfaces of the pressure piece set, the following requirements apply: ● The positional and angular deviations of the mounting surfaces to each other should correspond to the general tolerances for welded constructions in EN ISO 13920. ●...
Application planning 4.4 Overload protection Height compensation of the support points With this method, the output signals of all of the load cells are attuned to each other under a load. To ensure that all of the load cells receive approximately the same load, spacer plates are used to compensate the heights.
Page 18
Application planning 4.4 Overload protection Overload protection in the transverse direction For the CP-S SB load cells, the weight force is introduced into the load cells via spherical bearing surfaces. Up to a certain degree, these bearing surfaces allow lateral movement of the load bearing implement or a change in its length as a result of expansion due to heat.
Application planning 4.5 Guide elements Guide elements Use the guide elements in the following cases: ● A weight should be determined under the influence of transverse forces. ● Horizontal movement of the load bearing implement should be prevented. A change in the distance between the support points, for example as a result of expansion of the load bearing implement due to heat, must not lead to mutual tensioning of the guide elements.
Application planning 4.6 Protection against explosion To ensure that no force components occur in the measuring direction, you must install guide elements at precise right angles to the effective direction of the load cells. Three guide elements are sufficient to statically fix a weighing platform or container. NOTICE Weighing errors With four guide elements, there is a risk of the guide elements mutually tensioning, which in...
Installation Safety information/instructions Load cells are precision components and must therefore be handled carefully. Particular care must be taken during transport and installation. WARNING Danger to life from falling loads Load cells are not machine components which have been constructed with the normal safety factors.

Installation 5.1 Safety information/instructions CAUTION Damage to load cells through high currents If welding is undertaken after the load cells have been installed, ensure that the welding current is not diverted through the load cells. – You can do this by attaching the grounding clamp of the welding unit making reliable contact close to the weld.
Installation 5.2 Mounting the pressure piece set Mounting the pressure piece set 5.2.1 General installation information The installation conditions vary widely. The dead load of the load bearing implement can be very low or relatively high. You might be dealing with a container, platform or a roller conveyor.
Installation 5.2 Mounting the pressure piece set 5.2.3 Preparing the load cell CAUTION Damage to the load cell Observe the operating instructions for the load cell. When mounting the load cell, ensure that you do not damage or cut the cables of the load cell.
Installation 5.2 Mounting the pressure piece set 5.2.4 Preparing the pressure piece set ① Upper pressure piece ② Lower pressure piece Figure 5-2 Scope of delivery 1. Unpack the pressure piece set. 2. Read the accompanying information sheet. 3. Check the delivered unit. See also Scope of delivery (Page 5) 5.2.5...

Installation 5.2 Mounting the pressure piece set Compressive strength of the mounting surfaces The compressive strength of the mounting surfaces has to be appropriate for the surface pressure of the pressure pieces. Align the load cell The lower pressure piece features a pin. This prevents the load cell from twisting. You can align the lower pressure piece accordingly to determine the orientation of the cable terminal on the load cell.
Installation 5.3 Installing the grounding cable Procedure Figure 5-3 Inserting the load cell 1. Grease the bearing surfaces of the load cell with a bearing lubricant. 2. Insert load cell with the pressure pieces. 3. Lower the load bearing implement onto the load cells. 5.2.6 Checking the installation CAUTION...
Installation 5.4 Dismantling Dismantling For the disassembly of load cells, the same safety rules and requirements apply as for installation and assembly. 1. Disconnect all the supply voltages and auxiliary voltages. 2. Secure the load carrier against falling. 3. Use appropriate hoisting gear and tools. 4.
Service and maintenance Servicing and maintenance Important notes on cleaning CAUTION Damage to load cells, measurement errors Dirt must not be allowed to accumulate in the vicinity of a load cell. Do not subject cable glands, sealing elements and flat seals directly to the jet from a high-pressure hose.
