This paper describes the design of a 6-component force/moment calibration machine with having the maximum capacities of 500 N in forces and 50 Nm in moments. To be used for the characteristic of a multi-component load cell. this machine consists of a body, a fixture, a force generating system, a moment generating system and weights. We have also evaluated the accuracy of the calibration machine. Test results show that the expanded relative uncertainty for force components $\pmFx,\;\pmFy\;and\;moment\;components\;\pmMx,\;\pmMy\;are\;less\; than\;8.6\times10^{-4}$, and force components +Fz, -Fz and moment components $\pmMz\;is\;less\;than\;1.6\times10^{-3},\;2.0\times10^{-5},\;1.7\times10^{-3}$ respectively.

This paper presents the design and the evaluation of the 6-component force/moment calibration machine which h a s t h e maximum capacities of 500 N in forces and 50 Nm in moments. This calibration machine consists of body. fixture. force generating system, moment generating system. The expanded uncertainty of the calibration machine is evaluated by calculating the A type uncertainty. $U_A$ and B type uncertainty, $U_B$. The evaluation results. this system has the expanded uncertainty of less than $2{\times}10^[-2]$ in respective force and moment components.
