Abstract
A system for isolating the mounting pads of a vibrating beam or tuning fork force transducers from longitudinal vibrations generated by transverse vibrations of the beam or tuning fork tines which extend between the mounting pads. The system includes an arrangement of longitudinally resilient support links and masses that flex responsive to change in the length of the beam or tines as the beam or tines vibrate transversely. The support links and masses thus isolate the mounting pads from the longitudinally vibrations of the beam or tuning fork tines while allowing transmission of forces applied between the mounting pads which vary the force dependent resonant frequency of the beam or tuning fork.
