Abstract

A low level strain gage transducer including housing which supports a strain member having a fixed end member and a free end member in the form of a cup, the free end member supported by a folded arm arrangement including one or more arms which permits the element being monitored for strain forces to pivot with respect to the cup so as to to accommodate any mis-alignment forces applied to the cup that would otherwise generate bending forces resulting in erroneous strain measurements.
