APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

The U93 type series transducers are suitable for measuring tensile and compressive
forces. Because they provide highly accurate static and dynamic force measurements,
they must be handled very carefully. Particular care must be taken when transporting and
installing the devices. Dropping or knocking the transducers may cause permanent dam­
age.
It is essential to provide careful sealing so that the sensitive strain gage applications are
protected by the housing. Particular caution must be exercised with the base of the hous­
ing, which is very thin.
The specifications on page 17 list the permissible limits for mechanical, thermal and elec­
trical stress. It is essential that these are taken into account when planning the measuring
set‐up, during installation and, ultimately, during operation.
