20080218303 | COIL OF A FORCE-MEASURING SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE COIL - A multi-layered electromagnetic coil for a force-measuring system is based upon the principle of electromagnetic force compensation, as is a method for manufacturing the coil. The coil has a multifilar, specifically bifilar, wiring arrangement of coil wires. Preferably, the coil wires have a substantially rectangular cross-sectional profile. The cross-sectional profile of the coil wire is designed for achieving the densest possible packing of the windings in the coil can be achieved. | 09-11-2008 |
20090308665 | WEIGHING DEVICE - Weighing device with at least one weighing cell and with a receiving structure serving to hold the at least one weighing cell, wherein the at least one weighing cell includes a first fastener device serving to fasten the weighing cell in the receiving structure, and the receiving structure includes a second fastener device which is a complementary counterpart of said first fastener device. The fastener devices include a detent engagement mechanism and are designed in such a way that they hold as well as release the weighing cell by means of a form-locking engagement which can be locked and released, respectively, by a simple action in the form of pushing in the direction of the load and pulling against the direction of the load. | 12-17-2009 |
20100044118 | ADJUSTABLE PARALLEL-GUIDING MECHANISM, SPECIFICALLY FOR A GRAVIMETRIC MEASURING INSTRUMENT - A parallel-guiding mechanism has a vertically movable parallel leg that carries a weighing pan. The movable parallel leg is connected by two essentially horizontal parallel guides to a stationary parallel leg installed in a balance, wherein elastic flexure pivots are formed at the ends of the parallel guides. Incisions that reduce the material strength of the parallel leg in at least one appropriate location define at least one adjustment domain, thus forming a deformation zone which is plastically deformed through application of an adjustment force. In this manner, a corner load error of the parallel-guiding mechanism is corrected. | 02-25-2010 |
20100044119 | ADJUSTABLE PARALLEL-GUIDING MECHANISM FOR COMPACT GRAVIMETRIC MEASURING INSTRUMENTS - In a parallel-guiding mechanism, a stationary parallel leg surrounds a movable parallel leg. The movable parallel leg is connected to the stationary parallel leg and guided in vertical movement by first and second parallel-guiding elements, fastened respectively to the upper and lower end portions. The movable parallel leg can be connected to a load receiver and to a force-measuring cell through a force-transmitting connection in order to transmit the weighing load. Intermediate to, and connecting, the respective end portions is a tilt-adjustment feature, by which the end portions are tilt-adjusted relative to each other about at least one tilt axis to correct a corner load error. The tilt-adjustment feature is provided by at least one of: a pair of bending zones, a spherical joint and a ring-shaped constriction. | 02-25-2010 |
20110017521 | GRAVIMETRIC MEASURING INSTRUMENT WITH RELEASABLE LOAD RECEIVER - A gravimetric measuring instrument that contains a weighing cell having a load-transmitting member. A load receiver can be coupled to the load-transmitting member through a releasable connection. A mechanical stop resides on the load-transmitting member, and a mechanical counter stop resides on the load receiver. By means of an eccentric bolt engaging the load receiver and the load-transmitting member, the mechanical stop can be pressed against the mechanical counter stop, whereby the stop can be clamped tight against the counter stop. With this arrangement, the load receiver can be rigidly but releasably secured to the load-transmitting member. | 01-27-2011 |
20110296899 | LOAD CARRIER - A load carrier with a receiving pan for a free-flowing substance, a calibration weight holder for supporting a calibration weight, and a connector element for connecting the load carrier to a load receiver of a weighing cell. The receiving pan is arranged between the connector element and the calibration weight holder and is designed to be loaded with the free-flowing substance through a passage in the calibration weight holder. The calibration weight holder can be loaded with a calibration weight independently of the load status of the receiving pan. | 12-08-2011 |
20130161103 | WEIGHING CELL BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE COMPENSATION WITH OPTOELECTRONIC POSITION SENSOR - A weighing cell based on the principle of electromagnetic force compensation. A permanent magnet system is mounted on a base part and includes an air gap within which is suspended a coil that is connected to a load receiver through a force-transmitting mechanism. The coil carries an electrical compensation current when the weighing cell is in operation. An optoelectronic position sensor is also included, and its signal corresponds to the deflection of the coil from a zero position which occurs as a result of placing a load on the load receiver. A closed-loop controller regulates the compensation current in response to the sensor signal in such a way that the coil and the load receiver that is connected to it are returned to their zero position by the electromagnetic force that is acting between the coil and the permanent magnet. | 06-27-2013 |
