Abstract

A weighing system that works on the principle of electromagnetic force compensation. The weighing system has two guide members (4′), which connect a load support (5′) to a base region fixed to the housing. The weighing system also has at least one transmission lever (6′), which is mounted on the base region. The base region is divided into two separate subregions (2′, 3′), the transmission lever (6′) extends between these two subregions. Two weighing systems are arranged laterally side by side and their base regions are interconnected in such a way that the two subregions (2, 3) of the base region of the one weighing system are connected to the two subregions (2′, 3′) of the base region of the other weighing system such that their positions are fixed relative to each other.
