Product Usage Instructions
Installation
- Ensure the load cell is mounted securely using the specified
torque for each capacity. - Connect the shielded cable according to the color function
provided.
Usage
- Apply the force to be measured to the active end of the load
cell. - Avoid exceeding the overload protection limit of the load
cell.
FAQ
Q: Can the load cell be used in medical weighing
applications?
A: Yes, the load cell is suitable for medical weighing
applications due to its unique overload protection system.
Q: What is the recommended mounting torque for the load
cell?
A: The recommended mounting torque varies based on the capacity
of the load cell. Refer to the mounting torque specifications
provided in the manual.

APPLICATION NOTES
1.MOUNTING TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS At least one diameter thread engagement is desirable for mounting of the load cell. Jam nuts may be used but are not required. React torque only on the load cell structure adjacent to the mounting surface or jam nut and limit torque to the following recommended specifications.
CAPACITY inch-lb N-m
1.1lbf, 5N 5 0.6
2.2lbf, 10N 5 0.6
11lbf, 50N 20 2
22lbf, 100N 20 2

11lbf, 50N 300 33
2.The SMT Model load cells incorporate a unique overload protection system which provides up to 10 times rated load in both tension and compression without degradation of performance. This feature makes SMT’s very useful in process, medical and pharmaceutical weighing, as well as automotive, aircraft, dynamometer, and small rocket engine test applications where forces need to be measured under comparatively large overload conditions.
3.The force to be measured should be applied to the active end of the cell to eliminate possible errors due to cable interaction. The above figure can be utilized to identify the active end of the load cell.
