  • Publication number: 20110226535
    Abstract: The invention relates to a weighing sensor (1) for an electronic balance which is based on the principle of electromagnetic force compensation. The flow of force is by-passed across at least two lever arms (8, 9) and around a protruding section (7) of the stationary base and the components of the force compensation system are arranged next to the load sensor (6).

  • Patent number: 7838783
    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.
