Abstract

An economical scale is disclosed which utilizes a cantilever beam having positioned thereon a transducer arrangement. The beam is coupled to a platform by means of a rod inserted into an aperture in a linear bearing; thus providing a force only in the axial direction, to enable the weighing of an object positioned at any location on the platform, with extreme accuracy.
