Abstract

A deadweight force standard machine is a mechanical structure that generates force by subjecting deadweights to the local gravitational field. Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has launched a project to develop a 1 MN deadweight force standard machine in 2011. The project is scheduled to be finished in 2014. This paper describes the design of the deadweight force machine. Concept and structure of the force machine are illustrated in the paper.
