Product Overview Load Cell Mounting Spacers are metal plates installed at the mounting points of compatible load cells. They provide a flat bearing surface and help establish the clearance required by the load cell and scale structure. They are suitable for new weighing equipment and replacement work in commercial pig farms, livestock handling facilities and agricultural projects.
Key Features
  • Flat mounting faces help support correct load cell installation.
  • Spacer thickness provides clearance between the load cell and the supporting structure.
  • Mounting holes can be matched to the specified load cell and bolt pattern.
  • Steel and stainless steel options can be selected according to the installation environment.
  • Compact plate construction simplifies fitting and replacement during scale maintenance.
Structural Components A typical spacer consists of a machined metal plate with flat contact faces and mounting holes. The plate outline, hole diameter, hole spacing, thickness and edge finish depend on the load cell mounting drawing. Fasteners and the load cell are specified separately unless included in the agreed supply scope.
Structural Principle The spacer sits between the load cell mounting end and a rigid support or platform member. Its flat faces support the mounting connection, while its thickness creates the clearance needed for the load cell to deflect as designed. Correct alignment and fastening help prevent unwanted contact or loading that could affect weighing performance.
Technical Specifications
  • Product type: Load cell mounting spacer plate
  • Typical compatibility: Selected single-ended beam and shear beam load cells
  • Material: Plated steel or stainless steel, according to project requirements
  • Plate dimensions and thickness: Customizable
  • Hole diameter and center-to-center spacing: Matched to the load cell drawing
  • Surface finish and supply quantity: Available upon request
Confirm all dimensions against the load cell model and scale assembly before ordering.
Applications Suitable for compatible livestock weighing platforms, pig sorting and weighing equipment, cattle scales, feed hoppers, silo weighing assemblies and other agricultural weighing systems. Spacers can also be specified when fitting load cells to fabricated steel frames in farm construction projects.
Customization Options Plate size, thickness, mounting-hole pattern, material and finish can be specified according to project requirements. Provide the load cell model, mounting drawing, existing spacer dimensions and details of the farm environment for compatibility review.
Installation & Maintenance Support and isolate the scale before removing a load cell or spacer. Clean the mating surfaces, align the spacer holes with the mounting points and use fasteners specified for the load cell assembly. Tighten fasteners to the load cell manufacturer's instructions, then check clearance, cable routing and scale calibration. Inspect the spacer and surrounding steel structure for corrosion, looseness or deformation during routine service.
Product FAQ

Will one spacer fit every load cell?
No. Hole spacing, plate thickness and clearance must match the load cell and scale design.

Which material should be selected for a livestock facility?
Selection depends on cleaning practices, moisture exposure and the surrounding structure. Stainless steel may be specified for more demanding washdown environments.

What information is needed for a replacement order?
Provide the load cell model, mounting drawing or measured dimensions, required quantity and installation conditions.
