The guide element consists of two ball joint heads, a spacer and two flanges for installation on the combination mounting unit.

The additive guide element can also be retrofitted on combination mounting units if unexpected lateral forces occur during operation of the scales and the combination mounting unit was installed in accordance with the requirements (see "Guide elements").

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 combination mounting unit are not included in the scope of delivery of the guide element.
