  • Force transducer with separately mounted calibration resistors
    Patent number: 8757013
    Abstract: A force transducer with separately mounted calibration resistors is disclosed. In various embodiments, one or more strain gauges are bonded, via glass fusion, onto each of two or more surfaces of a bending beam. Measurements are performed, after bonding the strain gauges, to determine the respective resistances required to be added in series with the respective strain gauges to achieve a balanced bridge. The required calibration resistors are mounted on one or more surfaces of a support block disposed adjacent to the bending beam.
