STRAIN GAGE BEAM HAVING INTEGRAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION

摘要

STRAIN GAGE BEAM HAVING INTEGRAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION A sensitive deflector beam having an integral deflectable element utilizes an immobilization pin and a limit pin to prevent damage to the deflectable element during fabrication and use. The immobilization pin is inserted through the beam and to the deflectable element to hold the element rigidly in place during fabrication. Thus, relatively rigorous operations such as polishing and circuit deposition may be accomplished without damage to the element. By inserting a limit pin, which allows a preselected degree of motion in the deflectable element, the beam may be operated without overstressing. 10901-6 JMH009
