Important precautions during installation

Notice
A torque flange is a precision measuring element and therefore needs careful
handling. Dropping or knocking the transducer may cause permanent damage.
Make sure that the transducer cannot be overloaded, including while it is being
mounted.
S Handle the transducer with care.
S Check the effect of bending moments, critical rotational speeds and natural
torsional vibrations, to prevent the transducer being overloaded by reson­
ance sharpness.
S Make sure that the transducer cannot be overloaded.
WARNING
There is a danger of the transducer breaking if it is overloaded. This can cause
danger for the operating personnel of the system in which the transducer is in­
stalled.
Implement appropriate safety measures to avoid overloads and to protect
against resulting dangers.
S Use a threadlocker (medium strength, e.g. LOCTITE) to glue the screws into
the counter thread to exclude prestressing loss due to screw slackening, in
the event of alternating loads.
S Comply with the mounting dimensions to enable correct operation.
