Abstract

In a weighing cell a load receiver is constrained in a mode of planar translatory motion in relation to a stationary part (1). The stationary part (1), configured in the shape of a solid H-profile, has two side plates (3) to which the guide links of a parallelogram mechanism are attached. A base plate (2) connects the side plates (3) and supports the parts, that are required for transmitting a force to be measured from the load receiver to a measuring cell. The force-transmitting parts can be configured either as a monolithic material block or as individually assembled components. (FIG. 1)
