APPLICATION INFORMATION

Force transducers of the U3 type series are suitable for measuring tensile and
compressive forces. They measure static and dynamic forces extremely accurately and
therefore require careful handling. You must take particular care when transporting and
installing the devices. If you knock or drop the transducers, this could permanently
damage them.
The housing provides an elaborate seal to protect the sensitive strain gauge applications
and it is essential that this is preserved. You must be particularly careful with the base of
the housing, as this is extremely thin.
The limits for the permissible mechanical thermal and electrical stresses are stated in the
Specifications. It is essential that these are taken into consideration in planning the
measuring set‐up, during installation and finally, during operation.
