METTLER TOLEDO Weigh Module Systems Handbook
(12/99)2-4
How to determine the load cell size needed for a conversion:
• Determine the
initial pull
force at the end of the transverse lever.
• Determine the weight of the existing weighbridge platform (
deadweight
).
• Determine the
capacity
of the existing scale.
• Determine the
multiple
of the lever system.
Insert the variables listed above into the following formula:
Deadweight of Platform Capacity
Multiple Multiple
Lever Replacement
A lever replacement eliminates the mechanical scale’s levers and dial head. The existing
weigh platform can be modified to accept compression weigh modules. This conversion
results in a fully electronic scale (see Figure 2-6).
