The combination mounting unit consists of a self-aligning bolt, one or two countersunk screws as oscillation limit and protection against raising up, a top plate and a base plate.

The self-centering, self-aligning bolt allows the top plate and thus the load carrier to follow horizontal displacements (e.g. due to temperature fluctuations). The construction of the self-aligning bolt creates a restoring force which is dependent on the size of the displacement and the applied load. Oscillation limitation prevents the occurrence of excessive displacement and reliably protects the load cell from damage. The protection against raising up prevents lifting up of the load bearing implement.

The load cell is not included in the scope of delivery of the combination mounting unit.
