Mass measuring appts. for item under influence of weightlessness in space travel - has adaptor element for holding goods to be weighed coupled to dynamometer across connecting element, with dynamometer connected to oscillator

摘要

The mass measuring appts. includes an oscillator (1) with a freely settable vibration characteristic. An evaluation unit (13) is connected to the dynamometer, which for determining the mass, combines characteristic data of the vibration characteristic specified for the oscillator as well as determined braking or accelerating forces. The connecting element (3) is designed as a rigid body. The oscillator(1) is arranged in the vicinity of a housing, which has a cylindrical base (10) and a transfer line (11) extending in the direction of the dynamometer (2). The transfer line is connected to the dynamometer across a diaphragm (12). ADVANTAGE - High accuracy. Small system vol.
