Mechanical installation
5.1 Important precautions during mounting
• Handle the KMR with care.
• The KMR must lean plainly on the clean supporting surface and may not
bend.
• Always use the supplied washers for force introduction (do in no case bring
spring washers, tooth lock washers etc. into direct contact with the KMR).
5.2 General guide lines for installation
To determine the absolute value of the force to be monitored, you have to cali-
brate the KMR with a test transducer while it is in its final mounting position.
Depending on the mounting position, there are significant changes in output
signal. The following factors are effective:
Friction
•
Stiffness of the components
•
Surface unevenness
•
Asymmetric force introduction
•
After calibration, the mounting position may not be changed.
