Multi-component force and moment sensor

摘要

A multi-component force and moment sensor includes a mounting assembly and a conducting assembly. The mounting assembly includes an upper cover and a lower cover coupled to the upper cover. The upper cover defines four concave portions. The lower cover defines four concave portions. The conducting assembly includes a cross beam and a plurality of sensors. The cross beam is positioned between the upper cover and the lower cover. The cross beam has four arms. Each arm is received in each concave portion of the upper cover and each concave portion of the lower cover. Each arm has four sidewalls. Each sidewall is inclined to a reference plane. Each sensor is attached to one of the sidewalls of each arm.
