Safety information

Designated use
The force transducers in the type series C9B are solely designed for measur­
ing static and dynamic compressive forces within the load limits specified by
the technical data for the respective maximum capacities. Any other use is not
the designated use.
To ensure safe operation, the regulations in the assembly and operating in­
structions, together with the following safety rules and regulations, and the
data specified in the technical data sheets, must be complied with. It is also
essential to observe the applicable legal and safety regulations for the ap­
plication concerned.
The force transducers are not intended for use as safety components. Please
also refer to the section "Additional safety precautions". Proper and safe op­
eration of the force transducer requires proper transportation, correct storage,
siting and mounting, and careful operation.
Loading capacity limits
The data in the technical data sheet must be complied with when using the
force transducer. In particular, the respective maximum loads specified must
never be exceeded. The following limits set out in the technical data sheets
must not be exceeded
• Limit forces
• Lateral limit forces
• Breaking forces
• Permissible dynamic loads
• Temperature limits
• Limits of electrical loading capacity
Please note that when several force transducers are interconnected, the load/
force distribution is not always uniform.
Use as a machine element
The force transducers can be used as machine elements. When used in this
manner, it must be noted that, to favor greater sensitivity, force transducers
cannot be designed with the safety factors usual in mechanical engineering.
Please refer here to the section "Loading capacity limits" and the technical
data.
