The demand for lower uncertainties in force measurement is increasing. Deadweight force standard machines are known to yield the lowest measurement uncertainty in force realization. However, their capacities cannot be extended indefinitely as they become too large in size and prohibitively expensive. Lever amplification of a deadweight force is an option for higher capacities in force realization. This paper describes the performance of a force standard machine with a new method (patent pending) for automatic compensation of lever arm distortion in order to keep the amplification ratio constant.
