Precautions

Keep clear of any mechanical linkage that moves within a closed area. If the linkage should move (when the
system starts or due to mechanical failure), very high forces can be present that could pinch, cut, or crush
anything in the path of linkage movement.

Never allow any part of your body to enter the path of machine movement or to touch moving machinery,
linkages, hoses, cables, specimens, and so forth. These present serious crush points or pinch points.

Fixture Mounting

MTS offers a wide variety of fixtures. Mounting these fixtures typically involves installing the fixture or load
cell onto a mounting (clevis pin) adapter and securing it with a mounting dowel (pin). To further secure a
fixture, some configurations also include locking collars.
