1.0 INTRODUCTION
General purpose canister load cells manufactured by PCB
Load & Torque are suitable for a wide range of general force
measurement applications, including weighing, dynamometer
use, and static material test machines.
operate in tension and compression. Standard 1/4"-28 female
threads facilitate ease of installation.

The following document explains the characteristics and
installation of the canister load cells.
2.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Failure of the load cell structure may cause personal injury
and equipment damage.
The load cell can withstand loads of at least 150% of the full-
scale capacity before any damage occurs to the sensing
element. Be sure that the load cell and any fixturing used is
properly designed, fabricated, and securely installed prior to
use.
3.0 OVERVIEW
Canister load cells come in a variety of capacities to handle
loads ranging from 25 lbf to 300 lbf.

4.0 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Loads applied to canister load cells must be even and centered.
Compensation linkages (e.g. rod end bearing, alignment
couplers)
are
recommended
misalignment. When installing fixtures, be sure to thread the
fixture to the load cell, and not the load cell to the fixture. If
alignment fixtures are not used, ensure loading surfaces are
flat and parallel, with loads applied in-line with the sensor.
