The weight sensor should be handled lightly, especially the small-capacity sensor made of alloy aluminum. Any impact or drop can cause great damage to its metering performance. For large-capacity resistance strain gauge weight sensors, in general, it has a large self-weight, so it is required to use appropriate lifting equipment (such as chain hoists, electric hoists, etc.) during handling and installation.

The mounting surface of the base on which the sensor is mounted should be flat and clean, without any oil film, film, etc. The mounting base itself should have sufficient strength and rigidity and is generally required to be stronger than the strength and stiffness of the sensor itself.
