Aligning the Force Transducer
Maintenance
J. If your load frame has an anti-rotate actuator, unscrew the four cap
screws that attach the anti-rotate plate to the bottom of the piston. The
anti-rotate plate is at one end of the actuator.
2. Check the alignment.
Check the alignment between the force transducer and the actuator.
A. Attach the dial indicator to the actuator.
On a low profile force transducer, adjust the indicator to take the
reading along the edge of the loading surface.
On cylindrical style force transducers, adjust the indicator so that its
stylus just touches the polished bottom edge of the transducer.
B. Zero the indicator.
