Power measurement device for vehicle chassis

摘要

The device has a sensor (20) positioned in a hollow connecting unit e.g. bolt (16), that is loaded by a brake force at an aircraft chassis. The sensor generates a measurement signal based on a deformation of the connecting unit. A distance measuring unit (40) is used to find the distance of an inner wall of the connecting unit from the sensor. The measuring unit is arranged in a housing (22) of the sensor. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a sensor for use in a device for measuring the brake force in a vehicle chassis (2) an application of a sensor in a hollow bolt of an aircraft chassis (3) a circuit for a sensor.
