Tension Load Sensor and Mounting Hardware
The Hardy Solutions HI LPT Series Load Point Assembly is designed to provide accurate output in the most demanding applications. The load point assembly is used for suspending vessels and for mechanical scale conversions. The HI LPT consists of plated alloy steel mounting hardware with Teflon® insulation, which electrically isolates its stainless steel load sensor from stray currents.
A braided grounding strap provides an alternative path to the ground. The HI LPT load sensor is a stainless steel “S” type load cell. The “S” type load cell is sealed with a waterproofing compound and supplied with a minimum of twenty (20) feet of cable. The HI LPT is designed to resist angular effects and reduce moment sensitivity. The load point assembly comes standard with C2® Second Generation Calibration. This feature allows the load point, to be electronically calibrated without the use of test weights.
The mounting hardware consists of plated steel clevis mounts with nylon insulating washers, Teflon lined rod end ball joints, and a braided grounding strap. The mounting configuration provides for the correct alignment of the load and protects the load sensor from stray currents. The HI LPT Series mounting hardware is available in plated alloy steel.

The Hardy Process Toolbox is a set of productivity tools that support industrial weighing functions. Each tool saves time, increases accuracy, improves efficiency, or reduces risk in process weighing applications, including WAVERSAVER® to eliminate vibration, C2® electronic calibration, and Integrated Technician® to name just a few.
Hardy load cells support the following Hardy Process Toolbox functions when coupled with a Hardy Instrument and Hardy C2® cable.
C2® (or eCAL) Electronic Calibration
The Hardy C2® (or eCAL as it is known in China) core feature provides quick and easy electronic calibration of a weighing system without the need for heavy test weights.
INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® Operator Diagnostics
Hardy's INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN (IT) core feature helps you troubleshoot your weighing system and diagnose problems from the front of the instrument or via the PLC. These tests display system weights, voltages, and pass/fail displays to help isolate a problem to the instrument, cabling, or sensors, helping to reduce maintenance costs.
