MULTI-AXIS LOAD CELL BODY

摘要

A load cell body (12, 912) for transmitting forces and moments in a plurality of directions includes an integral assembly having a first ring member (14, 914) and a second ring member (16, 916). Each ring member (14, 16, 914, 916) has a central aperture centered on a reference axis (15, 915). In one embodiment, three or more sensor assemblies (20, 920) extend from the first ring member (14, 914) to the second ring member (16, 916) parallel to the reference axis. The sensor assemblies (20, 920) include spaced-apart apertures (29, 929) forming flexure members (45, 945).
