A valve stem connector comprises a first half (120) and a second half (122), each of which includes a top section (124) adapted to receive a portion of an actuator (110) and a bottom section (128) adapted to receive a portion of a valve stem (114). A plurality of cut-away sections (136) is disposed in each of the first and second halves, and a pair of shear web installation sites (144) is disposed between the plurality of cut-away sections on each of the first and second halves. A force measurement device (150) is disposed in each shear web installation site of the pair of shear web installation sites, the force measurement device for measuring the strain on the valve stem. Each shear web installation site has a shear strain measurable by the force measurement device, and the plurality of cut-away sections allows for a bending beam near each pocket to minimize deflection. |
