Mounting and load application
The Z16A... type series load cells can measure axial loads in the tensile
direction. Load is applied via two threaded bolts. The bearing surfaces of the
mounting parts to be screwed on must be clean and flat.
The following table contains the tightening torques to be used, the tightening
torque must not be applied via the load cell:

Notice
Apply sufficient lubricating grease to the threaded bolts on the load cell
(included with the load cell). This not only achieves optimal mounting, it also
protects against wear and corrosion.
The load must act as accurately as possible in the direction of measurement.
Torsional moments, eccentric loads and lateral or side forces cause
measurement errors and can permanently damage the load cell. Catch such
interference effects, e.g. using lateral stay bars or guide rollers, but ensure that
these elements do not absorb any load or force components in the direction of
measurement (force shunt which will in turn lead to measurement errors).
WARNING
Comply with the maximum permissible loading capacities of the mounting parts
used. If the loading capacity does not match the nominal (rated) range of the
load cell, there is a danger of the component failing. This not only can cause
damage to property, serious injuries can occur with regards to the nominal
(rated) loads of the load cells in type series Z16A... up to 20 t.
To minimize errors during load application, HBM recommends using knuckle
eyes. They are suitable for use with quasi-static loading (load cycles <10 Hz).
