Parasitic loads: Bending moments, lateral forces, torque and eccentric force
application
If the force is not applied in the center of the force transducer, a bending
moment is produced that can be calculated as:
M
=F*e
b
where F is the applied force and e is the distance between the force application
point and the center of the force transducer.
