Before preparing to apply force to the transducer(s) and calibrating the amplifier you should check to be sure that the
load cell is orientated and mounted in accordance to the transducer installation instructions. Common problems
include:
•
Failure to orient the transducer on a flat (machined) surface.
•
Poor shaft alignment that exceeds allowable limits.
•
Excessive or insufficient fastener torque.
•
The transducer is not oriented correctly and the sensing-axis is not true to the applied force vector (bi-
sector of the wrap-angle).
•
The roll shafts are mounted without allowance for shaft expansion or contraction.
•
The transducer is positioned in the web path where the wrap angle is not constant.
For more information about proper practices for applying calibration, refer to section 3.6 in this document.
