Abstract
In a weighing cell a load receiver is constrained in a mode of planar translatory motion in relation to a stationary part (,). The stationary part (,), configured in the shape of a solid H-profile, has two side plates (,) to which the guide links of a parallelogram mechanism are attached. A base plate (,) connects the side plates (,) and supports the parts, that are required for transmitting a force to be measured from the load receiver to a measuring cell. The force-transmitting parts can be configured either as a monolithic material block or as individually assembled components. (FIG. 1)
