Dynamometer arrangement

摘要

The spaced beam and bearing arrangements each comprise a deflection beam and a support. The platform is disposed on and supported by the support for receiving and being deflected by an applied force. Thus, deflection of the platform is transmitted to the deflection beams to cause deflection of the deflection beams. The beam and bearing arrangements isolate beam deflections to two mutually perpendicular directions, which mutually perpendicular directions are both perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of each deflection beam. The deflection of the deflection beams is measured in the two directions thereof and the deflection beams are arranged such that no two redundant directions of the deflection beams are permissible.
