Series 642 Bend Fixtures Product Information 36 Installation
Install Model 642.01, 642.10, and 642.25 Bend Fixtures—Electromechanical
Systems
1. Turn the electromechanical toggle switch to the on position. Position the
crosshead as necessary to allow adequate room to install the bend fixtures.
2. Clean the mating parts on the bend fixtures and the load unit.
3. Insert the adapter into the load unit component (force transducer, attachment
fixture, lower mounting fixture, and so forth). Align the holes in the adapter
and the load unit component and insert the pin.
4. Preload this connection by tightening the locknut bearing on the adapter
against the surface of the load unit component. Tighten sufficiently to
ensure that there is no slack during testing.
5. Set the bend fixture on the adapter, align the bend fixture, and secure the
bend fixture to the adapter using the supplied socket head cap screw.
6. Repeat Step 5 for the other bend fixture.
