The smooth swing-up mechanism is solid and works reliably. The scale can thus be reliably lifted and lowered several times per day, over several years. The lateral dampers ensure that the PUA574/579 floor scales can be safely swung down and easily lifted back up. The entire lifting and lowering mechanism conforms to the machine guideline 98/37EC.
The scales have a very low height - 35 mm and 45 mm - and can be transported with ease, while the weighing sample can be placed onto the scale both quickly and simply. All PUA-574 scales have rocker feet. These ensure optimum force transmission into the load cell at all times. Any risk of distortion after the PUA574/579 platform has been lowered is thereby eliminated. The scale continues to measure precisely even after being swung up and down countless times.
The rocker feet allow the weighing platform to be moved laterally to its safety end stops. This securely prevents any damage to the load cell due to lateral shearing forces. These forces occur when loads are processed at full speed. Not all commercially available scales are protected from these shearing forces.
