Mounting instructions

When mounting the load cells, consider the following factors:
S
The load cell must be handled carefully
S
The load cell must not be overloaded, not even briefly
S
Each load cell must be bridged with a copper wire either during or directly after
installation to prevent welding currents flowing over the load cell
Important
The cable fastening side of the transducer should always be connected directly with the
rigid customer‐side force transfer areas. Ensure that the cable is laid so that, where
possible, no force shunt is caused by the cable (e.g. through the weight or stiffness of the
cable).

Notice
Please note the maximum permissible load­carrying capacity of the loading fittings and of
the tension/compression bars, screws and knuckle eyes.

Load application

The RSCC type series load cells can measure axial loads in the tensile direction. Load is
applied via two tapped holes. The loads must act as precisely as possible in the load
