ELASTIC ASSEMBLY JOINT AND USE THEREOF FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF A MOVEMENT OR FORCE

摘要

The invention relates to an elastic joint (1) comprising two rigid reinforcements (2, 3) which are connected to one another by means of an elastomer body (4) which is disposed therebetween, such that said two reinforcements cannot slide. Moreover, the elastomer body is elastically deformable such as to enable the relative displacement of the reinforcements. The invention is characterised in that it comprises at least one magnetic measuring assembly consisting of: at least one sensor (C1) which has a zone that is sensitive to the magnetic field along at least one sensitivity axis of the sensor and which is fixed to a first (3) of the reinforcements; and at least one magnetic source (S1) which is fixed to a second (2) of the reinforcements in order to position the aforementioned at least one sensor of the magnetic measuring assembly in the magnetic field with a pre-determined spatial distribution. According to the invention, each sensor of the magnetic measuring assembly produces a measurement signal at a signal output (11), said signal being representative of an intensity of the magnetic field.
