STRUCTURE AND MODE OF OPERATION

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/Gs 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 by an
attached base. This base is extremely thin and must not be loaded centrally (see Page
11). It should be protected against mechanical damage.
