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!
S
To prevent rapid wear, grease the force application part. Please take care
not to use too much grease, as this will cause the rubber ring of the cell to
stick (from maximum capacity >4.7 t)!
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.
