Abstract: The invention relates to a bridge element for forming a balance, which realizes a parallel guidance between load receptor and base body by means of force-transmitting levers and also makes a balance insensitive to corner loads possible by means of a spaced-apart arrangement of two bridge elements.

Abstract: A weighing station for weighing and sorting objects to be weighed, comprising a rotating conveyor element for transporting the objects further in that, in a conveying step, said conveyor element can rotate by a specifiable angle of rotation about its axis.

Abstract: A holding fixture for the drive unit of a transport device that transports objects to be weighed is arranged between the transport device and the weighing cell which detects the weight. Thus the weight force to be detected by the weighing cell is transferred to the weighing cell by the holding fixture for the drive unit.

Abstract: The above described preferred embodiments are intended to illustrate the principles of the invention, but not to limit the scope of the invention. Various other embodiments and modifications to these preferred embodiments may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Abstract: Weighing system for weighing sequentially fed items to be weighed, in particular containers, with a weighing table, forming a preload, for receiving the weight of the item to be weighed, wherein the item to be weighed can be fed to the weighing table or removed from the weighing table along a path running across the weighing cell and wherein a clamping device, with which the item to be weighed, after it has been fed to the weighing table and impinges thereon with its weight, can be clamped detachably against a stop of the clamping device to enable being weighed in the clamped state, is provided above the weighing table as a preload.

Abstract: A weighing sensor according to the principle of electromagnetic force compensation, wherein a stop is provided on the load receiver for a lever or a component carried by it.

Abstract: A weighing cell includes a load receptor having a plug connector mounted thereon. The plug connector is adapted to receive a complementary plug connector of a conveying system so as to connect the conveying system to the load receptor either mechanically or electrically, or both. The load receptor-mounted plug connector may be adapted to receive the complementary plug connector in only one orientation to ensure proper electrical connections where such connections are made through the plug connector. The load receptor-mounted plug connector also include a centering arrangement for facilitating the proper connection with the complementary plug connector.

Abstract: A weighing cell for use in an associated receiving holder, wherein the weighing cell and receiving holder are oriented relative to each other by means of alignment elements and through the use of the weighing cell in the receiving holder for the simultaneous production of a detachable, mechanical, and electrical connection to each other.

Abstract: Device for the transport and weighing of letters, wherein the letter is conveyed between at least two conveyance elements and is stabilized laterally outside the conveyance elements by at least one guide element so that a deflection or fluttering of the letter can be reduced or avoided, at least when the letter is seized at its front edge by the transport elements.

Abstract: A lever mechanism, particularly for a scale receiver of a scale that works on the principle of electromagnetic force compensation includes at least one lever which is connected to a stationary base body or an element connected to the base body. The at least one lever arm is connected to the base body or the element connected to the base body via an elastically deformable articulation which defines a swivel axis of the at least one lever. A load force (FL), which corresponds to the weight force (FG) or is derived therefrom, acts on a first lever arm of the at least one lever and generates on a second lever arm of the at least one lever a reaction three (FR). The elastically deformable articulation comprises two thin, elastically deformable bending areas, which connect the lever to the base body or to the element connected to the base body.

Abstract: A weighing device with several weighing cells which are rigidly interconnected, and which have a load sensor with a predetermined load insertion direction, with at least one acceleration sensor and with at least one evaluating unit to which the weight signals generated by the weighing cells and the disturbance signals generated by the acceleration sensors can be transmitted. The evaluating unit uses a predetermined rule for each weighing cell to determine a correcting quantity from the disturbance signal of the acceleration sensor(s) as a function of the weighing cell geometric location relative to the geometric location of the acceleration sensor(s), and in that the weight signal, which is affected by the acceleration disturbance(s), of the relevant weighing cell is combined, with the correcting quantity in such a way that the influence of the acceleration disturbance(s) on the weight signal is substantially compensated.

Abstract: The invention provides a weighing device for a production machine or installation and a method for weighing piece goods from a production machine or installation, which can be implemented in a space-saving manner and/or permit processing of piece goods within a large belt width in the format of the piece goods. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the weight of two or more piece goods (7?, 7?) and the weight which is varied by subsequent feeding or discharge of an individual piece good (7?) or a number of piece goods to be jointly weighed are detected from which the weight of an individual piece good (7?) or a number of piece goods to be jointly weighed is determined from the difference between the weights.

Abstract: A weighing device for a combination scale includes a force-sensing unit for converting a weight acting on a load sensor of the force-sensing unit into an analog electrical signal and an analog/digital converter to which the analog electrical signal is fed and which converts the analog electrical signal into a digital electrical signal. the weighing device further includes a controller for controlling the analog/digital converter and for additional digital processing of the digital values of the digital electrical signal fed to it.

Abstract: A weighing cell for weighing moving goods comprises a plug connection on the load receptor for the mechanical and/or electrical connection of the weighing cell to the conveyor system moving the goods.

Abstract: A weight sensor includes at least one force-translating element cooperating in a levered manner in response to an applied load. The at least one force-translating element is arranged at least in part asymmetrically to an imaginary center plane of the weight sensor.
