METHOD OF BALANCING OF FORCE TRANSDUCER WITH ELASTIC JOINTS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: electronic balances dynamometers and other measuring devices with force transducers. SUBSTANCE: method of balancing of force transducer with elastic joints consists in asymmetric removal of sensitivity of transducer to moments. With this in mind rotary fixture with weight for creation of moment is anchored on transducer. This fixture is mounted in parallel to longitudinal and lateral axes of transducer with diametrically opposite arrangement of weight. Readings of mass of weight in these positions determine positive value and direction of longitudinal and lateral unbalances of transducer. Multiple sawing of side edges and internal surfaces corresponding to these directions of elastic joints with subsequent test remove unbalance of transducer to preset balancing accuracy in mentioned directions. Sawing of side edges and internal surfaces of joints is carried out many times in any sequence, separately or simultaneously. EFFECT: improved efficiency of method. 1 dwg
