LOAD INTRODUCTION
4 LOAD INTRODUCTION
Loads should be introduced as closely as possible in the direction of measurement. Tor­
sional moments, off‐center loads and transverse or lateral forces cause measurement
errors and may damage the load cell. These adverse influences must be avoided, e.g. by
using stay rods or guide rolls. These elements must not absorb any load or force compo­
nents in the direction of measurement.
HBM offers different load‐introduction components suiting various mounting situations in
order to minimize the adverse effects due to load introduction:
