PW15A... Single point load cells
Ambient conditions
In the context of your application, please note that because of the alloy
elements used, the high strength aluminum alloy only has limited corrosion
resistance if it comes into contact with electrolytes or if there are high and low
pH values. With stainless steel single point load cells, please note that acids
and all materials which release ions will also attack all grades of stainless
steel and their welded seams.
Should there be any corrosion, this could cause the load cell to fail. If this is
the case, the operator must take appropriate protective measures.
Unauthorized conversions and modifications are prohibited
Load cells must not be modified from the design or safety engineering point of
view except with our express agreement. Any modification shall exclude all
liability on our part for any damage resulting therefrom.
Qualified personnel
Load cells must only be installed by qualified personnel, strictly in accordance
with the specifications in conjunction with the safety requirements and
regulations listed below. It is also essential to observe the appropriate legal
and safety regulations for the application concerned. The same applies to the
use of accessories.
Qualified personnel means persons entrusted with siting, mounting, starting
up and operating the product, who possess the appropriate qualifications for
their function.
Accident prevention
The prevailing accident prevention regulations must be taken into account,
even though the breaking load is well in excess of the full scale value. Pay
particular attention to the following data from the specifications
− limit load (E
)
L
− limit load at max. eccentricity
− limit lateral loading (E
)
Lq
− breaking load.
