Measurement practice
For best measurement accuracy keep the compression/tension
forces in line with the force gauge. Alleviate bending loads and torque
loads applied to the load cell as these can adversely affect measurement
performance.
Always keep the gauge below the capacity limit shown on the
front of the gauge. If gauge is used above this capacity in either tension
or compression, even for a short time, permanent load cell damage can
result. Overload damage is not covered by warranty.
