5.1

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.
5.2

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.
