Assembly

The Load Cell Arm consists of just three core components: the two 3D printed arms and the load cell itself.

---

Prep the Load Cell

Start by applying a small dab of blue Loctite to the threaded holes of the load cell.
The threads on many load cells are loose by default, and Loctite helps prevent the screws from vibrating loose over time.

Blue Loctite is not permanent — it holds securely but allows easy removal for maintenance or future redesigns.

Attach the Arms

Attach the two 3D printed arms to either side of the load cell using:

• 2 × M8x1.25 18mm Cap Head Screws

Tip: Use a ball-end hex driver for easier access and torque when tightening.

---

Insert Bearings

Take 4 × 608ZZ Bearings and insert them into the bearing recesses — one on each side of both ends of the arms (4 total).
