Abstract
A load cell which includes a moveable load-receiving member coupled to a support member by three parallel bands, and having strain gauges connected to the middle band, so that the strain gauges are largely unaffected by off-center application of loads. In one load cell, the ends of all bands are connected in a cantilever connection to the support and load-receiving members, except for one end of the middle band which is pivotally connected to one of the members, this resulting in even less sensitivity to off-center loading.
