Elastomer bearings are rubber-metal composites made of neoprene and stainless steel. Their special design means that lateral movement of the load bearing implement does not result in high transverse force on the load cell.

If the load bearing implement is displaced by more than 4 mm (0.16 inch) in the horizontal direction, measures for restricting sideways play (e.g. stops) must be provided in the construction of the load bearing implement.

The base plate of stainless steel is used for suitable fixing of the load cell on the base.

The load cell is not included in the scope of delivery of the base plate or elastomer bearing.
