General Installation Guidelines
• The loads acting upon the force transducer must be as exact as
possible in the load direction.
• Torsion and lateral force must be avoided. The transverse loads and
side forces also include the relevant components of the measured
variables, which may be introduced at an incline.
• Torsional moments, off-centre loads and lateral loads or side forces
cause measuring errors and can permanently damage the
transducers.
• The axle bracket grooves also serve as a reference for aligning the
measuring axle.
• The DIN 15 058 axle bracket must be attached in such a way that the
measuring axle is prevented from twisting in the bearing and does
not have any axial play.
•
The measuring axle may only be subjected to load if the correct type of
bearing has been used. Loads occurring in other equipment may change
the zero signal and result in permanent damage.
•
The introduction of force in the centre must not wander and must be
installed in such a way that axial shifts are prevented. However, force by-
passing may not occur.
