Abstract
A load cell for measuring load in a rod, the load cell is described. The load cell is formed by a cylindrical strain member having a cylindrical aperture there through. The cylindrical aperture sized to fit the rod. The strain member includes a plurality of slots that create contact points there between for strain member to contact the rod in a predicable manner. A plurality of strain gages located adjacent to the contact points, the strain gages producing an electrical voltage proportional to the load on the rod.
