Abstract:
1. A force-measuring calibration test stand, comprising a load device: comprising a housing and a main axis; being supported at the housing; and being operable to oscillate about the main axis; a lever arm extending away from the housing perpendicular to the main axis; a force-transmission device coupled to the lever arm and operable to transmit a force oriented perpendicular to the main axis and perpendicular to the lever arm; a force-measuring device coupled to the lever arm by the force-transmission device; and a force-measuring calibration device comprising: a reference force-generating device operable to generate a reference force; a reference force-measuring device coupled to the reference force-generating device and operable to measure the reference force generated; and a reference force-transmission device coupled to the lever arm and operable to transmit the reference force to the lever arm wherein the force-measuring device, the force-transmission device, the reference force-generating device, and the reference force-transmission device are on the same side of the housing relative to the main axis.
