Abstract
A compression type load cell is provided consisting of a self-stabilizing rocker pin symmetrical about a primary longitudinal axis for measuring a load force applied to the load cell. Strain gages mounted circumferentially around a center section of the rocker pin measure the compressive force corresponding to the load force. Also provided is a weighing apparatus comprising a weighbridge with horizontal load transmitting surfaces resting on a plurality of self-stabilizing rocker pin load cells supported by horizontal base surfaces.
