Assembly, Installation and Initial Start-Up
4.1
Important Notes
The 3-component force sensor is a precision instrument
which must be carefully handled if its inherent accuracy is
to be maintained in a useful state.
To measure the three components of a force vector the
force link has to be mounted on a foundation plate
(table). The force to be measured is normally applied
via a machine component. The latter has to be fixed
firmly to the force link top plate.
The force link can be used as a single measuring ele-
ment or several of them with a common top plate
(force plate).
4.2
Mounting of 3-Component Force Link
The contact surfaces that transfer the forces onto the force
link must be flat, rigid and clean.
The force links can be fastened either from the outside
with four screws M6 in each case or from the center again
in each case with four screws M5.
The screws must be tightened sufficiently so that even with
maximum force exerted, no gap occurs between the con-
tact surfaces.
Mounting of the top plate with 4 each M5 screws from the
center.
