RECAUTIONS
To ensure proper installation and operation of the system, keep the following points in mind:
• Do not apply shock loads to the Slim Cell bearing assembly when mounting or
dismounting rolls.
• Exercise care to avoid overstressing the transducer when handling partially mounted
rolls. Even relatively short rolls can afford an impressive mechanical advantage over the
transducer.
• Bolting the transducer to a non-flat surface can cause deformation of the transducer body
and degrade the quality of the tension signal.
Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious damage to the Slim Cell Transducers and
possibly void the warranty!

RANSDUCER TO THE MACHINE FRAME
The Slim Cell Transducer can be mounted directly to the machine frame or mounted using the optional
mounting bracket.
The mounting surfaces for the Slim Cell Transducer should be flat and parallel to each other. Remove any
loose paint, rust or scale from the machine frame before mounting.
When Mounting the Slim Cell Transducer Directly to the
Machine Frame:
When Mounting the Bracket to the Machine Frame:
• The Slim Cell can be mounted on either the
inside or outside of the machine frame. Refer to
Figure 4 to help determine the arrangement that
best suits your application.
• Before drilling and tapping the mounting holes
in the machine frame, refer to section 3.3 to
ensure proper alignment of the Slim Cell.
• Mount the Slim Cell Transducer into place with
three bolts. For properly positioned bolt hole
centers and sizes, refer to the dimensions listed
for letters B and M in Figure 2. The bolt hole
centers are evenly spaced on a circle and 120
degrees from each other.
• The transducers can be mounted on either side
of the bracket. Refer to Figure 4 to help
determine the arrangement that best suits your
application.
• Drill and tap two mounting holes in the
machine frame for each bracket. Refer to
dimension X, O and P in Figure 2 for correct
dimensions for the bolt holes.
