Mechanical installation

5.1 Important precautions during installation

• Handle the transducer gently
• Do not overload the transducer
• Welding currents must not be allowed to flow over the transducer. If there is
a risk that this might happen, you must use a suitable low‐ohm connection
to electrically bypass the transducer. HBM, for example, provides the highly
flexible EEK ground cable, which can be screwed on, both above and
below the transducer.
WARNING
Additional safeguards must be provided if there is a risk that
overloading the transducer may cause it to break, which
could put people at risk.

5.2 General installation guidelines

The forces to be measured must act on the transducer as accurately as
possible in the direction of measurement. Torsional and bending moments,
eccentric loading and lateral forces may produce measurement errors and
destroy the transducer, if limit values are exceeded (see Specifications).
The contact surfaces transferring the force to the piezoelectric transducer
need to be plane, stiff and clean. The transducer can be mounted directly
using the adaptation flange integrated on both sides or the integrated internal
thread.
