Safety instructions
Designated use
The force transducers in the type series U10M/U10S are solely designed for
measuring static and dynamic tensile and/or compressive forces within the
load limits specified by the technical data for the respective maximum capacit­
ies. Any other use is not the designated use.
To ensure safe operation, the regulations in the assembly and operating
instructions, together with the following safety rules and regulations, and the
data specified in the technical data sheets, must be complied with. It is also
essential to observe the applicable legal and safety regulations for the applic­
ation concerned.
The force transducers are not intended for use as safety components. Please
also refer to the section: “Additional safety precautions". Proper and safe
operation of the force transducer requires proper transportation, correct stor­
age, siting and mounting, and careful operation.
Loading capacity limits
The data in the technical data sheet must be complied with when using the
force transducer. In particular, the respective maximum loads specified must
never be exceeded. The following limits set out in the technical data sheets
must not be exceeded

Limit forces

Lateral limit forces

Breaking forces

Permissible dynamic loads

Temperature limits

Limits of electrical loading capacity
Please note that when several force transducers are interconnected, the load
/force distribution is not always uniform.
Use as a machine element
The force transducers can be used as machine elements. When used in this
manner, it must be noted that, to favor greater sensitivity, the force transducer
cannot be designed with the safety factors usual in mechanical engineering.
Please refer here to the section “Loading capacity limits" and to the specifica­
tions.
