If the lateral forces remain below the values specified in the data sheet,
measurement errors may occur but the load cell will not suffer any lasting
damage.
If there is a risk that the permissible lateral forces may be exceeded, suitable
measures such as stay rods or buffers must be provided.
If the load cell is subjected to normal force, greater lateral forces dependent on
the normal force may be transferred due to base plate friction.
If high lateral forces can be expected in your application, we recommend the
use of pendulum bearings from HBM to minimize the lateral forces dependent
on the normal force that acts on the load cell.
