  • Multi-axis load cell with arcuate flexures
    Patent number: 4099409
    Abstract: A load cell for measuring forces and moments in three orthogonal directions. The load cell has a central hub (101) and an exterior housing (110) with a plurality of arcuate flexure segments (141, 142, 143) coupled between the hub (101) and the housing (110), for receiving forces and moments applied to one and transmitting them to the other. Two sets of electrical displacement transducers, one set (121, 122, 123) arranged in pin-wheel fashion about an axis of the hub (101), the other set (131, 132, 133) parallel to the axis, measure the three angular and the three translational displacements of the hub. The three angular displacements and the three translational displacements are algebraically related to the forces and moments applied to the hub.
