Abstract
Description
このような背景の下、ロードセルを備えた電子天秤では、秤量物を電子天秤の計量皿に載せた直後は測定値がふらつくものの、暫くして安定する。これは、薄肉部に発生する歪(応力)が安定するまで時間がかかるためであるが、この測定値が安定するまでの時間が短いほどロードセルが高性能といえる。
前記可動部に下向き荷重が作用した場合には、前記全4箇所の薄肉部のうち、上ビームの可動部寄りの薄肉部および下ビームの固定部寄りの薄肉部には圧縮応力がそれぞれ作用し、上ビームの固定部寄りの薄肉部および下ビームの可動部寄りの薄肉部には引張応力がそれぞれ作用するが、
前記引張応力が作用する薄肉部2箇所のうちのいずれか一方、および前記圧縮応力が作用する薄肉部2箇所のうちのいずれか一方には、前記歪ゲージをそれぞれ接着するとともに、前記歪ゲージを接着しない残りの薄肉部2箇所の幅方向中央部には、略円形の孔をそれぞれ設けるように構成した。
