ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for determining the position of the center of gravity of a test body with a test-body receiving plate supported on at least two weighing systems with short displacement in which device the position of the center of gravity is calculated from the particular bearing forces on the weighing systems that the connection between the test-body receiving plate (2) and the weighing systems (12, 13) takes place by means of coupling elements (22, 23) which are permanently connected by their one end to the test-body receiving plate (2), which are connected permanently by their other end to a weighing system (12, 13) and which are designed to be elastically flexible by means of at least one thin area (33, 34) defining a horizontal axis of rotation. This avoids an undefined introduction of force possibly overlaid by frictional forces and frictional moments into the weighing systems and thus increases the measuring accuracy.
