CAUTION
If users design their own tips, the mass and length
must be kept at a minimum (comparable to the
large tip supplied) or performance may be im-
paired.
2.8.2 75 g, 360 g and 750 g Transducer Tips
WARNING
Care must be taken whenever handling the force
transducer. These transducers are easily dam-
aged. Compression, tension or rotational forces
applied in excess of 150% of full scale rating will
permanently damage the transducer.
The 75 g, 360 g and 750 g transducers are supplied with a 4-40 setscrew as
the transducer tip. This setscrew should not be removed. If the user requires
a different size tip, the user tip should be designed to thread onto the 4-40
setscrew.
CAUTION
If users design their own tips, the mass and length
must be kept at a minimum, since performance of
the system may be impaired by the additional
mass/length.
2.9 CHANGING FORCE TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLIES
The 921A allows changing force transducer assemblies (i.e., 3.6 kg, 2.0 kg,
400 g, 75 g, etc.). However each force transducer assembly must be specifi-
cally calibrated on the 921A unit on which it is used. Transducer assemblies
calibrated on the same unit can be interchanged without recalibration. Refer
to section 5.1 for transducer calibration information.
