Introduction
Overview
The different load cell series cover rated loads from 3 kg
(6.61 lb) to 280 t (275.58 tn. L.).
The variety of modules available and their characteristics,
including
Stainless steel version for a high degree of corrosion
protection (not with SIWAREX R series K,
SIWAREX WL260 SP-S AA and SP-S AB)
Hermetically sealed housing for use in even harsh and
aggressive environments (not with SIWAREX R series K)
Compact modules for easy installation
SIWAREX load cells are suitable for virtually all applications in
industrial weighing, e.g. container and hopper scales,
platform scales, vehicle scales, hybrid scales etc.
All series have been approved for use with Class III legal-fortrade commercial scales in accordance with EN 45501 and
conform to OIML R601).
Siemens offers two load cell series: SIWAREX R and SIWAREX
WL200. Both series are equipped with strain gauges. They are
used for static and dynamic weight measurements.

Base plate with overload protection
Design
The integrated overload protection ensures that the load cell is
not damaged by static overloading with vertical forces of up to
5 kN.
The load cells can be installed on the base plate and aligned
even before final installation of the scales. This ensures that the
permissible spring excursion of the load cell is precisely set, up
to contact with the overload protection.
The load cell is not included in the scope of delivery of the base
plate with overload protection.

Overview

Design
Elastomer bearings are rubber-metal composites made of
neoprene and stainless steel. They ensure large spring excursions (i.e. a high degree of damping) despite small dimensions.
If the load support is displaced by more than 4 mm (0.16 inch)
in the horizontal direction, the design of the load support must
include measures for restricting sideways play (e. g. limit stops).
In combination with the base plate and integral overload
protection, it is ensured that the load cell is not damaged by
static overloading with vertical forces of up to 5 kN.
The load cell and the base plate are not included in the scope of
delivery of the elastomer bearing.

Load cell
Overview
Measurement characteristic
values
The shear beam load cell is particularly suitable for implementation in container, overhead rail conveyor and platform scales.
Design
The measuring element is a shear tension spring made of
stainless steel to which strain gauges are applied. The strain
gauges are arranged at 45 to the longitudinal axis on the side
of the spring body and are therefore subject to shear forces.
Under the influence of the load acting in the measuring direction,
the spring bodies and therefore the friction-locked strain gauges
are elastically deformed. This generates a measuring signal
voltage that is proportional to the load.

Design
The top plate is aligned and fixed above the base plate with the
two countersunk screws. This results in a stable unit. The height
of the top plate is adjusted so that it is three millimeters above
the installation height with load cell.
In this state the compact mounting unit serves as an installation
aid and can be used as a dummy for light installation jobs.
Prior to installation, the load cell is inserted with the self-aligning
bolt into the compact mounting unit. Then the complete unit is
installed in the scales. As the result, the load bearing implement
and the mounting units are aligned. The load cells are not yet
loaded.

The measuring element is a cylinder made of stainless steel to
which 4 strain gauges are applied.
The load which acts centrally in the measuring direction elastically deforms the spring body and thus the force-fitted strain
gauges. This generates a measuring signal voltage that is
proportional to the load. The load cell's rated measuring path
depends on the rated load and is between 0.23 and 2.67 mm
(0.01 and 0.11 inch).
An enclosure made from painted steel protects the strain gauge
from environmental influences.

Overview
Design
The measuring element is a stainless steel ring-torsion spring
body. Two expansion measuring spirals each are applied to the
upper and lower faces of the ring. The spring body is deformed
by the load, impacting centrically in the direction of measurement.
As a result, the diameter of the upper ring end face decreases and
the diameter of the lower ring end face increases. This results in a
change in the electrical resistance of the force-fitted strain
gauges, which is evaluated using a bridge circuit.
All load cells with a rated load of up to 13 t (12.79 tn. L.) are fitted
with an integrated overload protection.

Self-aligning bearing
Overview
Order No.
7MH4115-3DB11
7MH4132-4AK11
Design
The self-aligning bearing comprises a self-aligning bolt, a top
plate (self-aligning bearing, top part) and a base plate (selfaligning bearing, base part).
The self-aligning bolt allows the top plate, and thus the load
support, to accommodate horizontal displacements (e.g. due to
temperature fluctuations). The design of the self-aligning bolt
creates a restoring force, which is dependent on the size of the
displacement and the applied load.
The design of the load support must be such as to limit the lateral
play (e.g. with limit stops), if the load support is displaced
horizontally by the following values:
> 4 mm (0.16 inch) (up to 5 t (4.92 tn. L.) rated load)
> 7 mm (0.28 inch) (up to 13 t (12.80 tn. L.) rated load)
> 10 mm (0.39 inch) (up to 60 t (59.05 tn. L.) rated load)
Lifting of the load support must be prevented by suitable
measures provided in the construction of the load bearing
implement.

Design
Elastomer bearings are rubber-metal composites made of
neoprene and stainless steel. They ensure large spring excursions (i.e. a high degree of damping) despite small dimensions.
If the load support is horizontally displaced by more than 4 mm
(0.16 inch) or 6 mm (0.24 inch) for a rated load of 10 t
(9.84 tn. L.) and 13 t (12.80 tn. L.), the design of the load support
must include measures to restrict lateral play (e.g. limit stops).
Lifting of the load support must be prevented by suitable
measures provided in the construction of the load bearing
implement.
The load cell and the self-aligning bearing bottom part are not

Design
The compact mounting unit comprises a self-aligning bolt, a top
plate and a base plate and one or two countersunk screws that
serve as oscillation limitation and a protection against raising up.
The self-centering, self-aligning bolt allows the top plate, and
thus the load support, to accommodate horizontal displacements (e.g. due to temperature fluctuations). The design of the
self-aligning bolt creates a restoring force, which is dependent
on the size of the displacement and the applied load. The oscillation limitation prevents excessive lateral displacement, thus

The guide element consists of two ball joint heads, a spacer and
two flanges for installation on the compact mounting unit.
The additive guide element can also be retrofitted on compact
mounting units if unexpected lateral forces occur during
operation of the scales and the compact mounting unit was
installed in accordance with the requirements.
The guide element diverts horizontal forces up to 1.7 kN to the
foundation and therefore minimizes effects on the load cells and
the mounting components.
The load cell and compact mounting unit are not included in the
scope of delivery of the guide element.

The stainless steel junction box consists of a base section and a
cover. The housing is sealed against penetration of dust and
splashed water in accordance with IP 66 degree of protection.
The cables enter the casing via metric EMC cable glands (brass,
nickel-plated). In the housing, there are 18 terminals with springmounted contacts. The spring-mounted system results in
vibration-resistant, maintenance-free connections.
The internal resistance, characteristic value and nominal load of
all load cells connected in parallel must be identical. The values
of these variables are not limited by the junction box. Load cells
can be connected using a four-wire or six-wire system.
With the four-wire system, two jumpers must be set in addition.

Introduction
Overview
Number of load cells
If there are more than three bearing points, the load is likely to be
unevenly positioned and, in extreme cases, that two diagonally
positioned load cells would have to accommodate the entire
load. Three-point bearing should therefore be used wherever
possible.
To exclude the possibility of an uneven base, in the case of a
bearing with more than three load cells, the prevailing weight
distribution on the relevant load cells should be checked and a
height adjustment performed if necessary. This can be achieved
by using a suitable support to raise the load cells carrying less
weight.
Force bypass
Force bypasses are produced if a partial load is transferred past
the load cells into the base. There are various reasons for a force
bypass (e.g. third-party supports, frictional forces, stresses,
etc.).
Force bypasses must be avoided at all costs as they lead to
measuring errors.
4
1.2 t (1.18 tn. L.)
1.8 t (1.77 tn. L.)
Total load:
The 4 load cells are each loaded with 0.75 t (0.74 tn. L.) in order
to ensure even load distribution. During configuration and
selection of load cells, approx. 20 % should be added to the
calculated rated load for safety reasons. This produces a
required load cell rated load of 0.75 t 1.2 = 0.9 t
(0.74 tn. L. x 1.2 = 0.89 tn. L.)
It therefore follows that it is necessary to select the next highest
rated load level, with 1 t (0.98 tn. L.).
