Abstract
A flexure weighing system comprising a split-beam assembly consisting of two beams centrally connected by a flexure linkage system. The split-beam assembly is also connected to a frame and to mounting studs which connect the outer, load-bearing ends of the beams to a weighing platform. One of the beams is connected to a weight sensor which produces an electrical signal indicative of the movement of the beam to which it is connected and therefore of the weight on the weighing platform which causes that movement. Preferably, flexures are used at all the key pivot points in the system.
