Rice Lake ITCM Isolated Tension Cell Mount Hardware Kit – S-Beam Load Cell Mount
The Rice Lake ITCM (Isolated Tension Cell Mount) Hardware Kit is a complete mounting assembly designed for tension-mounted S-beam load cells used in suspended hopper assemblies and mechanical scale conversions. Its clevis and rod-end ball-joint design provides proper load alignment while significantly reducing the overall length compared with traditional tension cell mounting configurations.
The ITCM incorporates built-in electrical isolation to help protect the load cell from stray electrical currents, which can contribute to load cell failure. A grounding strap connects the two clevis assemblies to provide electrical continuity and additional protection.

These are the mild-steel ITCM configurations currently listed by Rice Lake.
Construction & Design
Mount Type: Isolated Tension Cell Mount (ITCM)
Material: Mild Steel
Finish: Zinc Plated
Mounting Style: Tension Mount
Compatible Load Cell Type: S-Beam
Electrical Isolation: Built in on applicable models
Grounding: Grounding strap included

The 20,000 lb model does not use the same PTFE-lined rod-end ball-joint and built-in isolation configuration as the lower-capacity models.
Applications
- Suspended hopper weighing
- Tank and vessel weighing
- Mechanical scale conversions
- Process weighing systems
- Industrial batching systems
- S-beam load cell installations
- Tension-mounted weighing systems
- Replacement of traditional eye-bolt mounting arrangements
Product Benefits
The ITCM design helps simplify installation while maintaining proper load alignment. Its compact configuration reduces the required mounting length, and its electrical isolation helps protect S-beam load cells from stray electrical currents.
