The pressure piece set consists of an upper and lower pressure piece. Together with the load cell the pressure piece set forms a self-centering unit with integrated torsion guard. Two adapter plates serve to hold the pressure pieces and round off the unit into a self-aligning bearing. The adapter plates can be bolted by means of the existing holes directly to the load bearing implement.

The self-centering, self-aligning bearing thus formed allows the load bearing implement to follow horizontal displacements (e.g. due to temperature fluctuations). In this case the construction of the self-aligning bearing creates a restoring force which is dependent on the size of the displacement and the applied load.

If the load bearing implement is displaced by more than 3 mm in the lateral direction, measures for restricting sideways play must be provided in the construction of the load bearing implement (e.g. stops or guide elements). Lifting of the load support must be prevented by suitable measures provided in the construction of the load bearing implement.

The load cell must be ordered separately.

The adapter plate package item consists of one unit.
