A Totally Different Weighing Approach

Here is How it Works
Loads applied anywhere on the loading surface generate (by means of flexures) turning moments in the crank structures which are located at each end of the scale base. These turning moments are transmitted by the crank structures to the ends of the "Floating Beam". Strain gages, bonded in the exact center of the beam, respond to these moments, producing a signal proportional to the sum of the turning moments. Regardless of where a load is placed on the scale platform, all weighing measurement takes place at the center of the beam. Deflection of the weighing platform is only a few thousandths of an inch at full load.
The unsurpassed performance of the "Floating Beam" scale base is a direct result of the simplicity of the strain gage measuring section. This section is superbly isolated with respect to all other elements of the scale structure, hence "floating".

GSE "Floating Beam" scales attain sensitivity, repeatability and linearity well beyond the capability of single point load cell, multi-load cell or vibrating wire type load measuring devices. Every "Floating Beam" scale base features on-center and off-center accuracies unobtainable on conventional scales. GSE platforms typically have 1 part in 10,000 linearity.
