Mechanical scales can be subject to various sources of error that may affect their accuracy. Minimizing these errors is crucial to ensure reliable weight measurements. Here are some potential sources of error and ways to minimize them: Friction: Error: Friction in pivot points or moving parts can le... read more
Mechanical scales encompass a variety of designs, each using different mechanisms to convert force into a weight reading. Here are several types of mechanisms commonly used in mechanical scales: Balance Beam Mechanism: A balance beam mechanism involves a horizontal beam supported at its center. Pans... read more
Zero drift is a phenomenon in digital scales where the displayed reading deviates from zero (or tare) over time, even when there is no load on the scale. Digital scales can experience zero drift due to various factors, including environmental conditions, electronic components, or wear and tear. Here... read more
