Abstract
A device for measuring components of force and moment along and about three orthogonal axes, composed generally of a central hub portion, an annular rim portion and four radial spoke portions connecting the hub and rim portions and having strain gages adhered thereon for producing electric signals indicative of strains appearing therein, and typically used in a tire tester, wind tunnel balance and the like by fixing either the hub or rim portion and applying a force to the other, the improvement of which is its relatively simple structure and exclusion of mutual interference of the respective components in measurement.
