ABSTRACT:
A load cell mounting arrangement for a load cell having first and second ends and a pair of output terminals across which an output signal appears when the load cell is subjected to compressive stress exerted between the first and second ends. The mounting arrangement comprises first and second mechanical interface members for positioning between a first surface and a second surface between which the load cell is to measure compressive stress. The first and second mechanical interface members have first and second mechanical interface member interface surfaces, respectively. The first and second mechanical interface member interface surfaces contact the first and second surfaces, respectively, each substantially at a point. First and second coupling collars permit non-compressive relative movement between the first and second surfaces, respectively, and the first and second mechanical interface member interface surfaces, respectively, substantially without altering the load cell output signal.
