contents This paper presents a customized weighing unit developed for the Tsinghua tabletop Kibble balance. The system is based on a flexure hinge mechanism sourced from a commercial weighing cell, with a major modification to the feedback control loop. The redesigned loop incorporates a capacitive displacement sensor for high-resolution position detection and a novel PID control strategy that ensures both fast dynamic response and high static stability. Initial characterization results demonstrate a repeatability better than 0.1 mg in air for 1 kg mass exchanges, validating the system's potential for high-accuracy mass metrology in Kibble balances.
