Mechanical installation
stressed to over the maximum load. This can be achieved using a suitable
torque for nominal (rated) forces up to 25 kN. Please use the torques in the
table on Page 20.
Alternatively, and for higher nominal (rated) forces, pre-stressing can be imple
mented by applying a force and then tightening the locknut, as happens when
mounting with a central internal thread. If you order the U10M with a load appli
cation bolt, you will achieve maximum
accuracy, even if the threaded connector is not pre-stressed.
Procedure
S Screw on the locknut.
S Screw on the force application part up to the retainer on the force applica
tion bolt.
S Unscrew force application part two revolutions.
S Load the force transducer to 120% operating force (note force limits).
S Hand-tighten the locknut
S Relieve the load on the transducer.
