A lockout assembly for selectively limiting the force applied to a weigh module, with a load cell, that senses force applied to a top plate from an equipment flange. A cowling with a flange spacer, is placed between the top plate and the equipment flange. The cowling has a jack arm that extends laterally and downwardly therefrom, and a jack screw extending downwardly, adjacent a support structure. A jack nut is threaded onto the jack screw, and is adjustable between a lockout position wherein the jack nut engages the support structure, and a weighing position wherein the jack nut does not engage the support structure.

A loading inner container (1) is located in an outer container (3), and a mounting plate (15) of a carrying frame (14) is fixed to a bottom of the scale (2), and an edge mounting plate (16) of the carrying frame (14) is fixed to a bottom of the outer container (3) at its edge. The mounting plate (15) of the carrying frame (14) is fixed on a bar (18) of the carrying frame (14) extending through an opening (19) in the bottom of the outer container (3).

The invention relates to a set of scales and to an installation for producing a medical composition using a set of scales. The set of scales comprise interchangeable securing means for a target container, the weight thereof being measured by the set of scales.

A positioning foot having a hydraulic shock absorber with a fluid-filled hollow cylinder (210), in which a piston (220) that moves axially between an advanced, spring prestressed position and a retracted position. The piston separates a front axial fluid space (214) and a rear axial fluid space (215) from one another in the hollow cylinder. Both fluid spaces are connected to one another in a fluid exchanging fashion via at least one throttle opening (223) in the piston. The piston is rigidly connected to a piston rod (221), which passes through the front fluid space and abuts a fixed stop (218) in the retracted position, in which the volume of the rear axial fluid space is minimized and the volume of the front axial fluid space is maximized. The spring prestress is dimensioned so that the weight of the device body moves the piston dampingly into the retracted position.

A weight measuring apparatus for vehicles with which a vehicle is easy to enter thereby measuring the weight of the vehicle conveniently, of which structure is simple and light thereby improving the usability and handling thereof, of which cost for manufacturing can be reduced, of which supporting structure is stable and reinforced with structural strength thereby improving durability and safety, and that can measure load weight accurately.

A load cell that includes a beam extending from a fixed section to a load section including a deflection section that moves under a load and a central beam section spaced from the deflection section. At least one strain gauge is coupled to the beam for detecting movement of the beam. A stop element including a bearing surface is also provided and coupled to the beam and configured such that the bearing surface does not engage the beam in a first position and engages the beam in a second position.

A scale includes a scale pan for supporting goods to be weighed, and upper and lower bearing plates, wherein the scale pan is arranged above an upper bearing plate, and a weighing cell is arranged between the upper bearing plate and the lower bearing plate, wherein at least three feet are attached to the lower bearing plate, which are supported on a fixed area, wherein the lower bearing plate has a U-shaped cross-section, wherein, contiguous to respective stiffened areas of the U-shaped cross-section, there is a further region, which extends in parallel to a trough bottom, wherein the trough bottom is arranged between the two stiffened areas, and the trough bottom has a trapezoidal geometry.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a step apparatus for a vehicle and a vehicle. In some embodiments, the step apparatus for the vehicle includes: a foot step; a load detection device coupled to the foot step for detecting a load applied to the foot step; a controller in communication with the load detection device and configured to receive and process a load signal detected by the load detection device and to determine whether the foot step is overloaded; and an alarm in communication with the controller. In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to generate an alerting signal to control the alarm to send out an alert when the foot step is overloaded.

A load cell scale has a load cell part formed in a columnar shape, the load cell part having a upper surface extending along a longitudinal axis and a lateral surface intersecting with the upper surface, and a stopper part configured to restrict deformation occurring in the load cell due to a load exceeding a predetermined value and applied to the load cell, wherein the load cell part has a strain portion capable of elastically deforming and the strain portion penetrates the load cell part from the lateral surface in a short direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and wherein the stopper portion is provided to be connected to the lateral surface of the load cell part.
