In preferred embodiments, the load bearing connectors are chains, ropes, wire ropes, cables, straps and the like, preferably chain. The wire form overload indicator preferably includes a wire form quick-link having a first thickness, and first and second elongated sides. The first elongated side preferably includes an interconnectable gap through which connection loops of the load bearing connectors can pass when the interconnectable gap is unconnected. The interconnectable gap includes a connection end and a connectable end, the connecting end having a connector capable of connecting the connecting end to the connectable end to close the gap. The second elongated side preferably has a portion having a diminished thickness as compared to the first thickness. The diminished thickness preferably has a predetermined load bearing capability and is calibrated to reduce the load bearing capability of the methods of making an overload indicator and a load bearing device including an overload indicator are also provided.

摘要： A load cell having overload protection wherein a central cantilever beam is provided between the sensing beams in the load cell structure and is bounded by slots of narrow gap width. When an excess load is applied, the load cell structure is deformed and contacts the cantilever beam to transfer the load thereto. The gap width determines the amount of applied load which initiates the protection.

摘要： A tank weigh module includes a bottom plate that has two lower stop blocks protruding upwardly therefrom, and a top plate that has an upper stop block protruding downwardly therefrom into a space between the two upper stop blocks with a block free play clearance therebetween. A restraining pin is arranged to extend through aligned pin receiving holes in all of the stop blocks. In the lower stop blocks, the holes provide a tight friction fit for the pin, while the hole in the upper stop block has a larger diameter and provides a pin free play clearance. Motion of the top plate relative to the bottom plate in the back-and-forth Y-direction is limited to the extent of the block free play clearance. Travel of the top plate in the side-to-side X-direction and in the uplift Z-direction is restrained by the extent of the pin free play clearance. Tilting and twisting about the X-, Y-, and Z-axes are also limited by the pin interacting with the blocks and the blocks interacting with each other. A load cell is secured in position between the top and bottom plates by two fixed securing pins and a third removable securing pin attached to the bottom plate, whereby the securing pins are angularly offset by 120° from each other. The weigh module has a simple construction, installation, and servicing, and provides protection against excess uplift, side loading, and tilting while allow complete free floating operation in a normal operating range.

摘要： A precision balance of the type having a short-stroke measuring system includes a load receptor connected to the measuring system by means of a hanger. The load receptor has the shape of a yoke and extends around the hanger. The yoke-shaped load receptor rests on the ends of two arms of a receiving element, wherein the arms are attached to the bottom of the hanger and elastically prestressed to press against the hanger. The yoke-shaped load receptor is held at the upper part of the hanger in a manner allowing guided sideways movement of the load receptor.

摘要： A load cell weighing apparatus (1) includes a base (7) and a load plate (11) and a load cell (9) mounted between the two. The base (7) includes four load arrestors (17) capable of precise adjustment. Each load arrestor (17) has a pin support (18) with three vertical holes (19) of different depths and a pin (21) which is placed in one of the holes (19). The load arrestors (17) prevent damage to the load cell (9) by limiting vertical movement of the load plate (11) with respect to the base (9). The amount of relative movement is easily and quickly adjusted by simply repositioning the pins from holes of one depth to holes of another depth.

摘要： A refrigerant recovery system that includes a refrigerant storage container, means for withdrawing refrigerant from a refrigeration system to be serviced and feeding such refrigerant to the container for storage, and a scale supporting the container for sensing impending overfill of the container. The scale includes a beam horizontally rigidly cantilevered from a base. A switch is positioned adjacent to the cantilever-remote end of the beam, and is responsive to deflection of the beam to indicate impending overfill of the container and prevent or terminate operation of the refrigerant recovery system.

摘要： A scale having a base, a single point load cell and a platform is disclosed. The platform is fixed to the load cell at a single point by an overload protection structure which is substantially rigid under normal loads but which collapses under excessive torsion loads so that the platform may pivot and transfer the load to one or more downstops spaced around the periphery of the platform. A central downstop structure for protecting the load cell from excessive axial loads is also disclosed.

摘要： Theload cell herein disclosed is designed for precise measurement of forces along or parallel to a single axis, while being substantially immune to forces applied along the other mutually perpendicular axes as well as moments applied about any of the three mutually perpendicular axes. Rigid force input and force output members are resiliently interconnected by a pair of parallel flexure beams which establish with such members a parallelogram type of linkage which is relatively yieldable to forces parallel to the selected measurement axis while being relatively stiff and unyieldable to forces parallel to the other two axes and to moments about any of the three axes. A strain gage-equipped sensing beam is mounted within the plane of the parallelogram linkage and between the two flexure beams. One end of the sensing beam is rigidly connected to the fixed force output member, while the other end is free to flex in cantilevered fashion responsive to displacement of the force input member. The sensing beam thereby provides part of the resilient interconnection between the force input and force output members, and is dimensioned so that its stiffness relative to that of the two flexure beams causes it to absorb 80 to 90% of the applied loads. Adjustable overload protection means are provided, which cause excessive forces to be safely by-passed around the resilient members and the strain gages.

摘要翻译： 本文公开的负载单元被设计用于精确测量沿着或平行于单个轴线的力，同时基本上不受沿其它相互垂直的轴施加的力以及施加在三个相互垂直轴线上的任何一个的力矩。 刚性力输入和力输出构件通过一对平行弯曲梁弹性地互连，所述平行弯曲梁与这些构件形成平行四边形类型的连杆，该平行四边形类型的连杆相对于平行于所选择的测量轴线的力相对屈服，同时相对刚性并且不能平行于 其他两个轴和任何三个轴的力矩。 应变计装备的传感梁安装在平行四边形连杆的平面内和两个弯曲梁之间。 感测梁的一端刚性地连接到固定力输出构件，而另一端响应于力输入构件的位移而以悬臂方式自由地弯曲。 因此，感测梁提供了力输入和力输出构件之间的弹性互连的一部分，并且其尺寸使得其相对于两个弯曲梁的刚度使其吸收施加的负载的80％至90％。 提供了可调节的过载保护装置，这些过载保护装置使得过大的力被安全地绕过弹性构件和应变计。
