F. If the TIR is 0.038 mm (0.0015 in) or less, the force transducer is
accurately aligned with the actuator. Go to Step 6.
If the TIR is greater than 0.038 mm (0.0015 in), the force transducer
needs to be aligned with the actuator. Continue to Step 5.
5. Align the force transducer.
To align a force transducer to the crosshead:
A. Lightly tap the transducer with the rubber mallet to change its position
until you get a TIR of 0.038 mm (0.0015 in) or less.
B. Hand-tighten the hex nut or preload collar jackbolts.
C. Rotate the indicator to see if the TIR is still 0.038 mm (0.0015 in) or
less. If not, loosen the nut or preload collar and return to
Step A. (Loosen the preload collar using the following sequence.)
D. Once the force transducer is aligned, tighten the hex nut or preload
collar jackbolts to the final torque shown on the identification plate.
Tighten the force transducer for the following torque progression: 50%,
75%, and 100% according to the following bolt sequence.
