SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Intended use
Force transducers in the C10 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 appropriate.
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 applicable legal and safety regulations for
the application concerned.
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, siting and mounting, and
careful operation.
Load-carrying capacity limits
It is essential to 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 are set out in the technical data sheets and must not be
exceeded:
S
Limit forces
S
Lateral limit forces
S
Bending moments
S
Breaking forces
S
Permissible dynamic loads
S
Temperature limits
S
Electrical load limits
Please note that when several force transducers are interconnected, the load/force
distribution is not always uniform.
Use as a machine element
Force transducers can be used as machine elements. When used in this manner, note
that to favor greater sensitivity, force transducers were not designed with the safety
factors usual in mechanical engineering. Please refer here to the "Load-carrying capacity
limits" section and to the specifications.
