ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for electromechanical measurement of forces for weighing is provided. There is a mechanism for measuring the load, which has two parallel end planes. In contact with each end plane is a respective load transmitting unit having two curved surface portions one on each side of a plane parallel to the end planes. The transmitting units both have a longitudinal axis parallel to the end planes and perpendicular to each other. All points on each curved surface portion are the same distance R away from an axis parallel to the end planes, R being greater than half the height of the transmitting unit in a direction perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. Movement of the measuring mechanism is restricted in a direction parallel to its longitudinal axis which is perpendicular to the end planes. One curved portion of each transmitting unit contacts an end plane of the measuring mechanism, and the other curved portion of each transmitting unit contacts the opposing end plane. The other curved surface portion of each transmitting unit is connected to a respective foundation plate; one plate receives the load; and the other plate can be connected to a support. A guiding mechanism is provided to prevent relative movement between the transmitting units and at the end planes, and between the transmitting units and the foundation plates, in any direction parallel to the parallel planes. The two transmitting units operate to transmit forces relating to the load to the measuring mechanism.
