General installation guidelines

The forces to be measured must act perpendicularly to the force washer. Tor­
sional and bending moments, eccentric loading and lateral forces may produce
measurement errors and destroy the transducer, if limit values are exceeded
(see Specifications).
The contact surfaces that transmit the force to the piezoelectric transducer
must be flat, stiff and clean. Paint and coatings must be removed. Components
that come directly into contact with the force application surfaces of the force
washer should have a hardness value of 43 HRC.
In the CLP series force washers, the maximum bending moment is subject to
loading with a force in the measuring grid direction. The following rule applies:
A force washer loaded with nominal (rated) force must not be additionally
loaded with a bending moment. This also applies to a force washer where no
force is acting in the measuring grid direction.
