FMSS Force Measurement Suspension System

Thayer Scale is well known for its proprietary “Flexure Plate” and “Flexure Cable” Force Measurement Suspension Systems, which are available in a number of capacity ranges and configurations to suit the unique needs of the principal classes of continuous weighing and feeding equipment.

A Force Measurement Suspension System (“FMSS”) is the arrangement of active mechanical elements interposed between the load receptor (platform, hopper, belt) and the load cell. Properly designed, the FMSS functions as a force vector filter that permits the sum of the chosen unidirectional force components to pass through the system to the load cell while blocking all other nuisance, erroneous or destructive force vectors.

The FMSS can be configured to provide other outstanding benefits, depending on the particular needs dictated by the type of weighing equipment employed.
