General installation guidelines

The forces to be measured must act on the transducer
as accurately as possible in the direction of
measurement. Bending moments resulting from lateral
force, eccentric loading and the lateral forces
themselves, may produce measurement errors and
destroy the transducer, if limit values are exceeded.
Fig. 6.1 Parasitic forces and moments
Notice
When installing and operating the transducer, please
note the maximum parasitic forces - lateral forces (due to
oblique application), bending moments (due to eccentric
force application) and torques, see the Specifications
section 9 on page 26, and the maximum permissible
loading capacity of the force application parts used
(possibly provided by the customer).
