(57) Abstract :
A load cell apparatus and method for forming the same. A load cell apparatus is configured to include a load cell housing and a
modular strain gage element that is modularly assembled into the load cell housing. The load cell housing and the modular strain gage
element together form a load cell apparatus for use in electronic force sensor applications. The modular strain gage element can be
configured from an Advanced Thick Film (ATE) compatible material and can be formed to include one or more contact ledges that
allows for a low hysteresis and a proper boundaiy condition for loading either a tension state or a compression state.
