Abstract: A force measuring beam assembly for use in pressure transducers, accelerometers, load cells, or the like, is symmetrically and floatingly mounted by means of a pair of thin torsionally flexed elements which are positioned in planes perpendicular to the plane of the beam and connect diametrically opposed corners of the beam to a rigid supporting base member in such manner that the beam may be deflected in proportion to movement of the center of the beam and provide an extremely accurate and linear output signal by means of strain gauge elements secured to the beam.In one embodiment a transducer for measuring fluid pressure over a wide range of values includes a diaphragm which is concentric with the force measuring beam assembly. A rigid connection is provided between the center of the diaphragm and the center of the beam so that non-linearity effects are avoided.
