Abstract

n this paper, a micromachined silicon load cell (force sensor) is presented for measuring loads up to 1000 kg. The sensitive surface of 1 cm2 contains an array of sensing elements to make the load cell insensitive to non-homogeneous load distributions resulting in higher accuracy. The load cell has been realized and tested. Measurement results show an accuracy of 0.2% of full scale limited by the measurement electronics. An accuracy of 0.03% or better is expected to be feasible
