Abstract
A load cell assembly includes a load cell and a deflection portion. The load cell includes a fixed end and a free end. The free end is configured to receive a force in a first direction. The deflection portion includes a first component and a second component. The first component is coupled to the free end of the load cell. The first component defines a first cam surface. The second component is configured to support the vessel. The second component defines a second cam surface. The second cam surface is configured to engage the first cam surface. In an engaged state, the second cam surface is in continuous direct contact with the first cam surface. In a disengaged state, at least a portion of the second cam surface is disengaged from the first cam surface. The load cell assembly includes a central axis.
