The force (F) applied to the force transducer produces downward vertical displacement (d) of first force summing member (14) relative to second force summing member (12) fixed to stationery reference member (20). The beam members (16,18) undergo S-shaped deformations. The beam deformations translate to angular displacements of the sensor members (28,30) about a point of inflection (26) defined in theupper beam member. The simultaneous displacement of the two sensors increases the gap (44) of the second capitive sensors and closes the gap (42) of the first capacitive sensor.
