Balance having a housing which can be evacuated

Abstract

A balance (10) includes an evacuable housing (12) having a bottom (121), side walls (122), and a top (123), and a weighing device (14) arranged in the housing (12) having a load carrier (142), a weighing system (141) and a weighing sensor. The weighing system (141) has a base fixed to the housing and a load receptor connected to the load carrier (142), which load receptor is coupled to the base in a vertically movable manner via a link arrangement articulated to the base on the one hand and is coupled to the weighing sensor fixed to the base in a force-transmitting manner via a lever arrangement on the other hand. A vertical post (124) protrudes from the center of the bottom (121) of the housing (12), wherein the base of the weighing system (141) is fixed on a free end of the post (124).
