Abstract
A load sensing device comprises a support mounted on a foundation, and a bridge connected to the support. The bridge is connected to a transducer. In order to ensure that the same transducer can be used for all sizes of supports in a particular series of supports, or for all loads to be measured, the transducer is flexibly connected to the support, and the stiffness of the connection between the bridge and the support and the stiffness of the flexible connection between the transducer and the support are both selected so that the load exerted upon the transducer always lies within a predetermined load range.
