Steel based sensor system for measuring force or pressure - has elastomer coupling arranged between force coupling organ made of steel and carrier also made of steel so that elastomer coupling and is located by steel guide element

摘要

The sensor system has an elastomer coupling arranged between a force coupling organ made of steel and carrier also made of steel which is located by a steel guide element. An arrangement of sensor elements (10a,10b,10c,10d,10) arranged on the side of the steel carrier (2), facing away from the direction of the application of force (K). The sensors are made of piezo resistive thick layer material, esp. mfg. using thick layer technology. A signal processing unit (11) is arranged in the vicinity of the sensors, which directly processes the signals of the sensors. The signal processor is arranged on a board, which is adjacent to the sensors. The signal processor is fitted directly on the steel carrier, separated by an insulating layer.
