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 in the horizontal direction, measures for restricting sideways play (e.g. stops) must be provided in the construction of the load bearing implement.

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 40 kN (in the case of load cells with a rated load of up to 2 t) or 60 kN (in the case of load cells with a rathed load of 5 t).

The load cell and the base plate are not included in the scope of delivery of the elastomer bearing.
