Notice
As the initial stress also depends on the friction between the locknut and
thread, the initial stress cannot be precisely set correctly with this method.
When using the force transducer under high alternating loads, we therefore
recommend installation using method 1 (installation and locking with initial
stress).

Mounting with knuckle eyes
Knuckle eyes prevent the application of torsional moments and, where two
knuckle eyes are used, bending moments, together with lateral and oblique
loads. They are particularly suitable for static and quasi-static measurements.
We recommend tension/compression bars that are pliable for dynamic alternat
ing loads.
Mounting with knuckle eyes is implemented in the same manner for loads a
mounting with tension/compression bars. Knuckle eyes without locking can be
used for static and quasi-static applications.
