Abstract
A load cell assembly for measuring force loads between two elements includes a four-bar linkage with connection arms mounted at opposite corners. Each of the connection arms include a first end rigidly connected to the four-bar linkage and a free end. An overload stop assembly rigidly connected to the four-bar linkage selectively limits displacement of at least one of the free ends when excessive force loads are present.
