4 MOUNTING AND LOAD APPLICATION
4.1 Mounting instructions
When mounting the load cells, pay attention to the following:
S
Please handle load cells with care!
S
Load cells are precision sensors and so their achievable accuracy depends greatly on
their being mounted correctly!
S
Use suitable hoisting gear for mounting the weighing device!
S
Do not overload load cells even briefly (e.g. due to unevenly distributed support
loads)!
S
When carrying out adjustment work that could endanger the load cells, use supports
(dummies) of equal height!
S
Avoid lateral forces and torques!
S
Depending on the construction, use anti-liftoff devices and limit stops if necessary!
S
Protect load cells against
- one-sided heat radiation
- the influences of subsequent welding work
- strong temperature variations!
Notice
Load cells are precision measuring elements and need to be handled carefully. Dropping or
knocking the transducer may cause permanent damage. Make sure that the transducer
cannot be overloaded, including while it is being mounted.
4.2 Load application
Clamp the load cells firmly at the mounting holes and apply the load at the other end. The
recommended screws and tightening torques can be found in the table below:

provided by the screw manufacturer.
Load must not be applied to the side where the cable connection is located, as this would
cause a force shunt.
