  • Load cell
    Patent number: 7444889
    Abstract: To provide a load cell, having a force transducer for recording tensile and compressive forces that are to be determined, which can be produced more economically and, in particular, can also be handled more easily during the adjustment of the sensor arrangement than hitherto, the force transducer comprising a flectionally elastic element and a force introduction part acting on the flectionally elastic element, having a sensor arrangement for detecting a deformation of the flectionally elastic element and the transformation thereof into an electric weighing signal, and having a housing receiving the force transducer and the sensor arrangement, with a flectionally rigid wall part, on which the flectionally elastic element of the force transducer is held, it is proposed that the sensor arrangement be arranged on a separate carrier, which is held on the flectionally rigid wall part and/or a flectionally rigid base part region of the housing
