Structure and mode of operation
3.1 Measuring element
The measuring element is a measuring spring made from stainless steel, to
which strain gauges (S.G.) are applied. The S.G. are arranged so that four of
them can be strained and the other four compressed when the transducer
reacts to a force.
3.2 Housing
The housing with the integrated measuring spring is completed underneath
and on top by an attached cover. No weight must be placed on this cover. It
should be protected against mechanical damage.
