Abstract
A force-measuring apparatus, particularly a weighing cell, has a stationary part , a load receiver , a measuring transducer , and a lever for transmitting a force from the load receiver to the measuring transducer. An improved arrangement is proposed for changing the lever ratio by providing at least two different locations so that the fulcrum pivot flexures can be attached either at positions and or, alternatively, at positions and of the lever/stationary part.
