Abstract
A flexure-based transducer especially adapted for very precise measurement of small forces in either direction along or parallel to a single axis, without being adversely affected by forces applied in any other direction or by moments applied about any axis. The transducer is capable of withstanding very high overloading, without damage, by the provision of two resilient portions mounted in parallel to each other but in series between the gaged portion and a fixed support, plus an overload pin on the gaged portion which bottoms after a pre-determined travel.
