NOTICE
Damage to load cells through incorrect mounting
• Provide indented claws or crane eyebolts on the load carrier to ensure that hoisting gear
• Load cells must never be overloaded. Put the load carrier down slowly for this reason.
• Adjust the existing overload protection to ensure that it can still reliably sense transfer of
• Protect the gap above the overload protection from deposits of dirt and ice.
• The load must be introduced in the measuring direction of the load cell. Torsional and

bending moments, eccentric loads and transverse loads are disturbances. These
disturbances cause errors in the measuring result and can damage load cells and
elastomeric bearings if the maximum limits are exceeded.
The mounting components normally allow so much room for movement that heat
expansion will not result in lateral loading.
