Tension Electronics PFEA111/112, User Manual
Sometimes it is necessary to mount the load cell on an
incline due to mechanical design constraints of the
machine or the need to have a sufficient force component

applied to the load cell.
Inclined mounting adds a component of tare force in the
measuring direction and modifies the force components
T
as shown.
When calculating, it is important that the angles
are set into the equations with the correct signs
in relation to the horizontal plane.
