D.8 Mounting the Load Cells
1. Mount the bearings in the load cells. 
NOTE
Use tools and materials that not will damage the bearing or the load cell.
NOTE
One of the bearings is locked in position with retaining rings while the 
other bearing is only pressed into the correct position to allow axial expansion.
a. Mount one of the retaining rings into the load cell.
b. Arrange a counterstay as shown in the figure below.
c. Press the bearing to correct position. 
NOTE
The bearing bed has only a slight interference fit, and, therefore, no heavy forces 
should be used.
d. Mount the other retaining ring into the load cell.
