With over 600 units produced over the past 50+ years, the six-component balance that is manufactured by Aerophysics Research Instruments, LLC, is the exemplar used in wind tunnels today. Based on the exact design principles developed and used on the Task/Able balance line, our six component balance produces low interactions and possesses a self temperature compensating feature that cancels thermal effects on both bridges on Axial Force and Rolling moment... The six component internal strain gage balance is basically a floating-frame type. The primary frames consist of an inner rod, which fastens to the model support sting, and a cylindrical outer case, which is inserted into and attaches to the model. Forces and moments are resisted by individually removable elements, employing flexure pivots, connected between the inner rod and outer case of the balance... The six force and moment sensing components of the balance consist of two normal force elements for determination of normal..
