An improved motorized, articles-in-succession conveying and weighing (or checkweighing) machine for use such as intermediate of in-line article feeding and take-away conveyors, or the like, comprises essentially a frame-like support structure; a strain gage load cell suspended therefrom, which carries suspended therefrom a cage-like bracket, the opposite sides of which support spaced apart parallel article transport conveyors. Each of such conveyors comprises an endless belt training about driving and idler rollers which rotate about vertical axes. These conveyors define therebetween an article-to-be-weighed conveying passageway extending in longitudinal alignment with article feeding and take-away conveyor. The motor driving the conveyors is also mounted on the bracket suspended from the load cell; and therefore the motor and the conveyor form parts of the tare load on the load cell. The driving motor is positioned on the bracket at an elevation above that of the load cell and in counterbalance of any tendency of the bracket cage to rotate about the horizontal axis of the load cell such as may be induced by intermittent or variable forces acting upon the article conveying component of the machine which is suspended below the load cell.
