A load cell weighing apparatus includes a load cell having one end secured to a base, a receiving member secured to the other end of the load cell, and a load supporting member movable with respect to the base and receiving member, wherein a load to be weighed is applied to the load supporting member. Springs are provided between the load supporting member and receiving member for transmitting the load applied to the load supporting member to the receiving member, and a stopper cooperates with the base to define the full stroke of movement of the load supporting member.

Load cell weighing apparatus

A load cell has a span resistor hole for enclosing a span resistor that is provided on the beam body, so that the span resistor may be free from the influence of environmental factors such as temperature and moisture and thus can be satisfactorily protected. The span resistor hole is located in a deformation-proof portion of the beam body, whereby the span resistor is not exposed to external mechanical force.
