文摘
- •
We describe a nonlinear load cell with high resolution over a large force range.
- •
Force nonlinearity is implemented by cantilevers that contact rigid surfaces.
- •
Experiments demonstrate the load cell properties.
- •
We fabricate the load cell as a monolithic part for reduced assembly cost.
