For the jackbolts, lightly lubricate the preload collar and its washer
with Molykote G-n paste. Remove the jackbolts and lightly lubricate
them. Reinstall the jackbolts so that they are flush with the bottom of
the collar.
For the preload nut, lubricate the washer and adapter bushing.
B. Screw the mounting stud into the top of the force transducer. A
styrofoam bead will make future stud removal easier. Do not screw the
stud all the way into the force transducer.
C. Remove grease from the surfaces of where the alignment fixture will
contact the crosshead and force transducer. Use a cleaner that leaves no
residue (like acetone).
D. Install the alignment fixture on the force transducer’s mounting stud.
Ensure that the 0° mark faces the front of the load unit.
