Mechanical installation

13.1 Important measures for installation

− treat the transducer gently
− if measuring compressive forces, make sure there is a solid support
structure
− the force-introduction surfaces must be scrupulously clean and carry in full
− keep to the depths of engagement for threaded rods or knuckle eyes
− do not overload the transducer.
WARNING
If there is a risk of breakage through overload on the transducer and
thus a risk to persons, additional safety measures are to be taken.

13.2 General installation guidelines

The measurement direction in which forces act on the transducer must be as
precise as possible.
WARNING
Torsion and bending moments, eccentric loading and transverse forces
result in measurement errors and if limit values are exceeded, could
destroy the transducer.
13.3 Mounting accessories for tensile loading/
compressive loading
Knuckle eyes are provided for Z4A installation. This mounting accessories
prevent the introduction of torsional moments and when 2 knuckle eyes are
used, stop bending moments and transverse and angular loading being
introduced in the transducers. The knuckle eyes are intended primarily for
static tensile and compressive loading of the transducer.
