TIR Load Unit Rating
0.051 mm (0.0020 in) 500 kN (100 kip)
d) If the TIR is 0.038 mm (0.0015 in) or less, the force transducer is accurately aligned with the actuator.
Go to Step 6.
If the TIR is greater than 0.038 mm (0.0015 in), the force transducer needs to be aligned with the
actuator. Start over with Step 3.
4. If you have a force transducer that is mounted to the crosshead with a single nut, perform the following
substeps.
a) Put blocks of wood between the actuator and the force transducer. They will support the force transducer
when its mounting nut is loosened.
b) Loosen the mounting nut. Lubricate the exposed stud threads and washer with Molykote G·n paste.
c) Tighten the mounting nut just enough to pull the force transducer firmly against the crosshead.
d) Remove the wood blocks. Reinstall and zero the indicator.
