Zusammenfassung:A load cell apparatus (46, 48) has a load cell (50) adapted to couple to a first structure (28, 32). The load cell comprises a load cell body (52) and a sensor (54). The sensor (54) provides an output signal indicative of an amount of weight applied to the load cell (50). A stud (110) extends away from the load cell body (52). The load cell apparatus (46, 48) has a stud receiver (120, 122) including a space (124, 192) in which a portion of the stud (110) is received. A set of rollers (148) are coupled to one of the stud receiver (120, 122) and a second structure (26) and contact the other of the stud receiver (120, 122) and the second structure (26).
