The Semi-Span Pedestal balance is fabricated from a single piece of material. There is a hole through the center for model services. It has extreme load capacities with minimum deflections. The natural frequencies are high and the balance measures 3 moments and 2 forces. Redundant bridges increase the balance’s reliability.
