Abstract
A bushing for a load cell that reduces assembly height and measurement error and enables tool-less insertion and removal to a mount hole of a load cell and to connect with a load bearing surface of a weight system is described herein. The bushing may include a first end having a tapered surface for inserting into a mounting hole of a load plate. The bushing also includes a second end and a middle portion. The middle portion has a diameter less than the first end and the second end. The bushing defines an internal passageway with fins arranged along the inside thereof. The fins are disposed at an angle with respect to a radius of the internal passageway. The fins may interface with a pin to couple to a load bearing plate of a weight sensor system.
