Mechanical installation and maintenance
Load cells of the line KxxD-(D) are designed to be supported at both ends and loaded at
the middle of the cylindrical body (KIMD, KOSD and KISD). An arrow on one or both
ends defines the correct direction of the resulting force from the applied load.
At the cable/connector end of the load cell, a flat reference surface or key slot are
provided (KIMD, KOSD and KISD). It should be used to prevent the cylindrical load cell
body from rotating in the supports.
Standardized adapters for some load cell types are available, others can be custom
designed and produced by Vishay Nobel. On request the mechanical shape of a load cell
can also be altered to suit an existing structure.
Potential electrostatic hazard on KIMD-(D), do not rub with electrostatic materials.
