Application information
Force transducers of the U5 type series are suitable for measuring tensile and
compressive forces. They measure static and dynamic forces extremely
accurately and therefore require careful handling. You must take particular care
when transporting and installing the devices. If you knock or drop the
transducers, this could permanently damage them.
The housing provides an elaborate seal to protect the sensitive strain gauge
applications and it is essential that this is preserved. Therefore be particularly
careful around the top and bottom of the housing (see Fig. 5.1).
The limits for the permissible mechanical thermal and electrical stresses are
stated in the Specifications. It is essential that these are taken into
consideration in planning the measuring set‐up, during installation and finally,
during operation.
