Specifications: The document outlines key specifications for Burster load cells, including deflection full scale, nominal force, nominal sensitivity, and nominal temperature range. Deflection full scale refers to the travel distance of sensor application points under nominal force, typically a few micrometers. Nominal force is the maximum force the load cell is designed for, while nominal sensitivity is expressed in mV/V, indicating the output signal's dependence on supply voltage. The nominal temperature range specifies the ambient temperature within which the load cell maintains its technical data tolerances.

Procedures: Factory calibration certificates provide information on measurement uncertainty and traceability, with test points at 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of full scale. Calibration is performed for both tensile and compressive loads. Overload protection is available for some sensors, activating at 130% of nominal force and effective up to 500%. Load cells generally do not require pre-loading, but a small pre-load may be advisable to secure the sensor.

Standards and Recommendations: Load must be applied along the primary axis to avoid measurement errors or sensor damage. Non-linearity and non-repeatability are measured as percentages of full scale. Operating temperature range and overload burst are defined to prevent damage. Relative hysteresis and sensitivity are also specified. Standardization ensures consistent sensor output, crucial for parallel connections. Temperature effects on zero output and nominal sensitivity are expressed in % F.S./K.

Best Practices: Avoid sudden load changes to prevent sensor damage. When connecting load cells in parallel, ensure identical characteristics and consistent temperature across sensors. An instrumentation amplifier is necessary for converting low output signals from strain gage-based load cells into usable signals.
