SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Intended use
The force transducers of the U10M series are designed exclusively for measuring static
and dynamic tensile and/or compressive forces within the load limits stipulated in the
Specifications. Any other use is not the intended use.
To ensure safe operation, it is essential to comply with the regulations in the mounting
instructions, the safety requirements listed below, and the data specified in the supplied
technical data sheets. It is also essential to observe the applicable legal and safety regu
lations for the application concerned.
The force transducers are not intended for use as safety components. Please also refer
to the "Additional safety precautions" section. Proper and safe operation of force trans
ducers requires proper transportation, correct storage, setup and mounting, and careful
operation.
Load-carrying capacity limits
The information in the technical data sheets must be observed when using the force
transducers. The respective specified maximum loads, in particular, must never be
exceeded. The values specified in the technical data sheets must not be exceeded:
S
Force limits
S
Lateral force limits
S
Bending moment limits
S
Torque limits
S
Breaking forces
S
Permissible dynamic loads
S
Temperature limits
S
Limits of electrical load-carrying capacity
Please note that when several force transducers are interconnected, the load/force distri
bution is not always uniform. In this case, there is a risk that an individual force trans
ducer will be overloaded, even though the total force of all interconnected force transduc
ers has not yet been reached.
Use as machine elements
Force transducers can be used as machine elements. In this application, it should be
noted that, for the sake of high measurement sensitivity, the force transducers were not
designed with the safety factors commonly used in machine building. Please refer to the
"Load-carrying capacity limits" section and the specifications.
