4. Preparation
4-4. Mount on test stand
This force gauge can be attached to a test stand. The four holes on the back can be
used for mounting. Refer to the page 46.
Standard mode
Mount the force gauge to a mounting plate of a test stand with four screws included to
the test stand.
Mount the mounting plate on the test stand.
High capacity model
Attach the included four installation bolts (B-8) to the force gauge. Mount the force
gauge to a mounting plate of a test stand and mount the plate on the test stand.
Refer to the instruction manual of test stand for detail.
4-3. Mount of Attachments
Mount appropriate attachment to the measuring shaft. The direction can be adjusted
with the included nut.
• Applying the force to wrong direction or using tools to mount an
attachment will cause load cell damage. For safety, please mount an
attachment while checking a display value.
• The point where force is applied should come to the point where a hook
crosses an extension of the gauge measuring shaft when you use a
hook attachment. If force is applied at a tip of hook, it may bend or
break and is very DANGEROUS.
• The weight of attachment is detected as force to the sensor. We
recommend the weight of attachment should be under 10% of gauge
capacity.
• Make sure to use the screw with the length shorter than 6 mm (Standard
model).
• Make sure to use the included bolts (B-8) to mount ZTA(ZTS)-2500N
and 5000N.
• For mounting separate models or eZT on test stands, please contact us
for details.
