Abstract
A force balancing system includes a plurality of flexure elements disposed to define the corners of an imaginary parallelogram, and each being fixed at one end and connected to a movable load bearing device at the other end so that forces acting through any one flexure element are in exact balance when the system is in equilibrium. The system finds application in weighing systems wherein the object to be weighed constitutes the load.
