Abstract:
A weigh module (100) comprises a load cell (4), a supporting member (1) and a load transmitting arrangement (2). The supporting member (1) comprises a receiving hole (13) extending vertically and thoroughly. The load transmitting arrangement (2) comprises a connecting member (23), a bearing member (21) and a rolling ball (22). The connecting member (23) connects the load cell (4) to the supporting member (1). One end of the connecting member (23) is fixed to the load cell (4) and another end of the connecting member (23) extends into the receiving hole (13). The bearing member (21) is disposed in the receiving hole (13) and is fixed to the supporting member (1). The rolling ball (22) is disposed between the bearing member (21) and the connecting member (23), whereby the force applied on the supporting member (1) can be transferred to the load cell (4) via the bearing member (21), the rolling ball (22) and the connecting member (23).
