Described is a force gauge (1) comprising a proximity sensor (2) formed by a first flat component (3) lying in a first plane P1 and a conductor plate (4) lying in a second plane P2 parallel to the first plane P1; the first flat component (3) and the conductor plate (4) are movable relative to each other between a spaced-apart position and a close-together position along a main axis (D) and are connected to each other by a constraining system at least in part elastically deformable along the main axis (D) in such a way as to allow the relative movement of the conductor plate (4) and the first flat component (3) in particular when a force F is applied to the conductor plate (4) from the opposite side relative to the first flat component (3); the gauge (1) comprises a computerised command and control unit (5) in communication with the first flat component (3) and configured for detecting from the first flat component (3) a measurement signal representing a variation of an electrical quantity determined by a movement (ΔS) of the conductor plate (4) relative to the first flat component (3), calculating a value of the movement (ΔS) measured along the main axis (D) starting from the measurement signal and correlating the value of the movement to a value of the force F as a function of the mechanical characteristics of the hollow element (7). |
