How a Flexible Connector Affects Loss-in-Weight Feeder Accuracy
A loss-in-weight (LIW) feeder measures changes in the weight of its weighing assembly over time. That makes the mechanical connections around the weighing assembly part of the measurement system, not just part of the powder-containment system. A connector that is too stiff, incorrectly sized, installed under tension, exposed to excessive lateral movement, or coupled to a pressurized process can transmit forces back into the weighing structure. This guide explains how to select an ultra-flexible, low-reaction-force connector for loss-in-weight feeders, load-cell hoppers, batching systems and multi-head weighers.
