Abstract
A force-transmitting mechanism () has stationary and load-receiving portions (). The load-receiving portion is joined to a measurement transducer on the stationary portion through a force-transmitting connection, directly or through at least one coupling element () and at least one lever (). The force-transmitting mechanism has a parallel-guided coupling means (), a calibration lever () with a fulcrum on the stationary portion, and calibration lever arms (), one of which is rigidly connected to a calibration weight (). The parallel-guided coupling means () is arranged between the second calibration lever arm and the at least one coupling element or an arm () of the lever. The parallel-guided coupling means is divided into fixed and parallel-guided coupling parts (), which allows a force to be transmitted between the coupling parts. Parallel elements of the parallel-guided coupling part absorb relative traverse displacements from transmitted forces.
