Abstract
An exemplary mounting arrangement serves for the mounting of a force transducer that has a sensor-equipped core part connecting a support part to a force-application part. The support part can be bolted to a fastening part by mounting screws, and the force-application part can be bolted to a weighing pan carrier by means of mounting screws. The support part and the force-application part of the force transducer can each have a triplet of threaded holes serving to receive the mounting screws. Each triplet forms an isosceles triangle whose apex points towards the deformable body. The symmetry axes of the triangles lie in a plane that is parallel to the displacement travel of the force transducer. The mounting arrangement can be further configured to provide an effective overload protection in a low-profile design and to provide a thermally uncoupled fixation.
