D.8.2 Mounting Screws for the Load Cells
The load cell shall be mounted with screws according to Table D-1.
NOTE
The screws shall be tightened according to the manufacturer´s recommendations.
Screws with strength class 8.8 are sufficient for normal applications without large transverse
forces or overloads.
Screws with strength class 12.9 and a higher tightening torque are recommended in applications
where large transverse forces or overloads can occur.
Prior to mounting, check that the mounting surfaces are clean and flat, e.g. free of burrs and
other damage.
D.8.3 Routing the Load Cell Cable
The cable must be supported with clamps and routed to prevent force shunting through the
cable.
