Mounting Plates 101
Interface mounting plates are engineered support foundations designed to provide a stable and prepared surface for a load cell. They provide the solidity that ensures the sensor operates within its specified parameters. Mounting plates are machined to the tightest specifications and extremely low flatness tolerances. This meticulous attention to detail ensures a flat, smooth mating surface for the load cell, minimizing local deformation and maximizing measurement accuracy.
