The content reflects the technical status at the time of publishing. Siemens reserves the right to make technical changes in the course of further development.
2.1.1 Base plate and elastomer bearing The self-centering elastomer bearing for SIWAREX WL230 BB-S SA load cells is particularly suitable for installation in roller table, platform and vessel weighing machines. The elastomer bearing is firmly connected to the load cell and the load carrier. This provides a lift-off protection to a limited extent.

Description 2.3 Functionality of elastomer bearing unit and grounding cable Grounding cable The grounding cable represents an electrical bypass via the load cell and elastomer bearing unit. High weld currents can destroy the load cell and the electronics. The electronics can be affected by voltage sparkovers of static discharges.

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, install the load cells only at the last minute. Replace the load cells during installation and transport with placeholders, so-called dummies or phantoms. Dummies might be designed as follows: ●...
Application planning 3.3 Load pick-up Load pick-up Mounting surfaces The following requirements apply to the installation areas: ● The positional and angular deviations of the mounting areas to each other correspond to the general tolerances for welded constructions in EN ISO 13920. ●...
Application planning 3.4 Overload protection Overload protection NOTICE Irreparable faults and damage to the load cells If load cells are used beyond the maximum working load or the maximum transverse load, this can cause irreparable faults and even fracturing of the load cell or the compact mounting unit. ●...
Application planning 3.5 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 3.6 Grounding cable Three guide elements are sufficient to statically fix a weighing platform or container. Note Weighing errors With four guide elements, there is a risk of the guide elements mutually tensioning, which in turn induces weighing errors. If you nevertheless want to use four guide elements, the guide elements must be installed with a sufficient amount of play.
The load cell can be damaged when being handled improperly. Load cells are precision components. ● Observe the operating instructions for the load cell. SIWAREX WL200 Operating instructions (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109749190) ● Do not drop the load cell. ● Protect the load cells from shocks.

Installation 4.1 Safety instructions NOTICE Incorrect assembly of the load cell Damaging of load cells, installation parts or load bearing implement With load cells of smaller rated loads, there is a risk of stretching the load cell bodies when attaching force transfer devices, e.g. when tightening locknuts. Torsional and bending moments, eccentric loads and transverse loads are disturbance variables.
Installation 4.2 Installing the base plate and elastomer bearing Installing the base plate and elastomer bearing 4.2.1 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 table. The following installation instructions therefore only describe the general procedures.
1. Keep the data sheet with the calibration values of the load cell. 2. Unpack the load cell. 3. Read the accompanying information sheet. 4. Read the operating instructions of load cell. SIWAREX WL200 Operating instructions (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109749190) 4.2.4 Preparing the base plate and elastomer bearing Procedure 1.
Installation 4.2 Installing the base plate and elastomer bearing Figure 4-1 Install the elastomer bearing in the load cell ① ② 1. Place the elastomer bearing over the load cell support 2. Hold the elastomer bearing. Holding the elastomer bearing prevents damage to the load cell. ③...

Installation 4.2 Installing the base plate and elastomer bearing Procedure 1. Adapt the procedure to the installation conditions. 2. Insert the elastomer bearing unit. 3. Screw the base plate to the lower mounting plate. 4. Align the elastomer bearing with the upper mounting plate. 5.
Installation 4.2 Installing the base plate and elastomer bearing 4.2.7 Set overload protection Procedure 1. Load the load bearing implements with the maximum occurring load. ① 2. Set the overload protection with the nut to 0.05 to 0.1 mm ① The dimension 0.05 to 0.1 mm must remain the same even after locking the nut.
Installation 4.2 Installing the base plate and elastomer bearing Procedure 1. Determine which load cell has the lowest load. – Connect load cells in the junction box. – Disconnect the load cell cables SIG+ and SIG-. – Connect a supply voltage to the load cells via a SIWAREX weighing module. –...
Installation 4.3 Dismantling Dismantling For dismantling the load cells, the same safety rules (Page 19) apply as for installation. 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 NOTICE 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 and seals directly to the jet of a pressure washer. ●...
