The load cell shall be mounted with screws according to
The screws shall be tightened according to the manufacturer´s recommendations.
Screws with strength class 8.8 are sufficient for normal applications without large transverse
forces or overloads.
Screws with strength class 12.9 and a higher tightening torque are recommended in applications
where large transverse forces or overloads can occur.
Prior to mounting, check that the mounting surfaces are clean and flat, e.g. free of burrs and
other damage.
