Weighing apparatus, especially with torpedo cars.

摘要

For measuring the weight of a load of a load-carrier (1) of at least one vehicle, which load-carrier (1) is supported by at least one spring unit (10) on a mobile substructure of the vehicle, weighing apparatus is provided with means (20,40) for measuring the elastic deformation of the spring unit or units under the load. The measuring means includes a reference object (40) mounted on the load-carrier (1). To avoid vulnerable equipment on the vehicle and to improve information obtained, the measuring means includes electrical observation means (20) for non-contact observation of the position of the reference object (40). The electrical observation means (20) being free of the vehicle.
