Intended use
Piezoelectric force transducer in the CFT+ type series are designed solely for
measuring static and dynamic compressive forces within the load limits stated
in the specifications. Any other use is not the intended use.
To ensure safe operation, it is essential to comply with the regulations in the
mounting instructions, the safety requirements listed below, and the data
specified in the technical data sheets. It is also essential to observe the appli­
cable legal and safety regulations for the relevant application.
Force transducers are not intended for use as safety components. Please also
refer to the "Additional safety precautions" section. Proper and safe operation
of force transducers requires proper transportation, correct storage, setup and
mounting, and careful operation.
Load carrying capacity limits
Comply with the information in the technical data sheets when using force
transducers. The respective specified maximum loads in particular must never
be exceeded. The following limits set out in the technical data sheets must not
be exceeded:
S Force limits
S Lateral force limits
S Breaking forces
S Maximum eccentricity
S Permissible dynamic loads
S Temperature limits
Please note that when several force transducers are interconnected, the load/
force distribution is not always uniform. This means that one particular force
transducer may be overloaded even if the total of all the nominal (rated) force
for all sensors has not been reached.
