Installation For Tensile Loading/Compressive Loading; Installation Without Adapter - HBM U5 serie Montageanleitung

loading at a higher frequency, you should use flexible tension bars. Knuckle
eyes prevent the introduction of torsional moments and when 2 knuckle eyes
are used, stop bending moments and transverse and angular loading being
introduced in the transducers.
Various installation fastenings are possible for the transducer (see Fig. 7.1 and
Fig. 7.2).
The sensitivity of the transducer is adjusted for installation using the flange
thread. Should the characteristic tolerance for using the through‐holes be
insufficient, it is possible to carry out a factory calibration for this special
installation situation.

Installation for tensile loading/compressive loading

7.3.1

Installation without adapter

The transducer is screwed directly on to an existing structural element (e.g.
profile, cover, plate). This type of installation enables the transducers to
measure axial forces in the tensile force and compressive force directions.
Alternating loads can also be recorded perfectly. To achieve this, the
transducer must be mounted without any axial play, which is made easier by
centering aids on the top and bottom of the transducers.
Usable centering assistance on the top is 2.5 mm and on the bottom, 1.5 mm
(see page 23).
S The structural elements provided by the customer must be parallel to one
another. The screws must be tightened in a diagonally opposite sequence.
