proper transportation, correct storage, siting and mount
ing, and careful operation.
Load carrying capacity limits
The data in the technical data sheets must be complied
with when using the torque flange. The respective spe
cified maximum loads in particular must never be ex
ceeded. For example, the values stated in the specifica
tions must not be exceeded, e.g. for
S Limit torque
S Longitudinal limit force, lateral limit force or limit bend
ing moment
S Torque oscillation width
S Breaking torque
S Temperature limits
S Limits of the electrical load-carrying capacity.
Use as a machine element
The torque flange can be used as a machine element.
When used in this manner, it must be noted that, to favor
greater sensitivity, the transducer is not designed with the
safety factors usual in mechanical engineering. Please
refer here to the section "Loading capacity limits" and to
the specifications.
Accident prevention
According to the prevailing accident prevention regula
tions, once the transducers have been mounted, a cover
ing agent or cladding has to be fitted as follows:
S The covering agent or cladding must not be free to
rotate.
