Abstract: Described is a dual guided-beam transducer provided with constant-strain characteristics by forming the two end sections of each beam with opposed edges that converge towards each other along straight lines crossing at the center of the beam, the strain gages being bonded to the end sections within their opposed converging edges.Two embodiments of the invention are described. One embodiment includes a body mountable to a fixed support in cantilever fashion with the load applied normal to the axis of the support. A second described embodiment is a folded-end transducer of cylindrical shape for accommodating loads applied axially to the cylinder.
