Proper axial loading of Series TT03 torque gauge.
3.1.1 Proper alignment
Load must be applied axially with respect to the sensor, as shown in Figure 3.1. If attachments are used,

loading can damage the instrument, whether power is turned on or off.

appropriate holes in the rear half of the housing.
The torque sensor portion of the gauge (shown in Figure 3.1) can be mounted directly to a Mark-10
torque test stand or tabletop mounting kit without the need for any additional adapters. Flat surfaces are
provided to prevent rotation within a fixture.
