ABSTRACT:
A novel flexure-based transducer is capable of measuring forces along a first axis and moments about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, using strain-gaged cantilever beams. The configuration facilitates scaling for selected sensitivity to particular inputs. A second embodiment permits the strain gages to be completely sealed from the environment. Also disclosed is a platform weighing system of the force transferral type using four of the novel flexure members with only a single load cell, and permitting the relative sensitivity of each flexure member to be readily adjusted to provide equal sensitivity irrespective of the location of the applied load on the platform.
